Good time for Coke and many other products that use corn syrup to switch back to sugar.

Corn is well subsidized which helps keep corn syrup prices below the price-supported sugar prices.

Sure is hard on chainsaws, weedeaters, and generators.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Another example of how we all pay the price when government gets involved.
Its all about over now anyway so it doesn't matter much but sit back and watch the carnage begin.

How many of our congressmen have ever been involved in business for profit? They don't have a clue how to do business. Their pay and pensions should be indexed to the government income/outgo balance.

Look,...the "Environmental Protection Agency" that just killed the Animas watershed,through gross incompetence, is WELL FUNDED, and the darling of the left.
As Powell and I have been trying to get through some thicker heads,...the enforcement of their "Water Regs" in 37 states that lick political balls SHOULD be a cause for concern,....
No flame,...but it looks(sadly) like there are just more pressing issues and events occupying our readers / members time, for the last coupla' days..

Too many voters (and bleeding hearts) have NO idea what it takes to sustain their habits - like eating in a lighted, comfortable home.

Get rid of the stupid laws regulating alcohol and the farmers can produce their own ethanol and sell it at the local level. They cover their losses when prices fall, tax payers aren't stuck with the bill for subsidizing them and the guv has less control over we the people. Win all around.

I have watched a lot of Judge Judy since my back operation. Before you jump me, in the day time here it is that or soap opera's. Anyway, the sheer number of folks on the Government teat is astounding, and they all want to sue somebody for mostly petty stuff. The other day the Judge was quizzing a man that his ex wife was suing for part of the income tax return, and it seems that He made $12,000 gross and somehow got nearly $5000 back on his income tax refund. I can't figure how that works, but I do not doubt it. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

There are millions who get back far more than they paid in because of it.

I don't always agree with the subsidy stuff, very few around here are collecting such. , but people should keep in mind farmers are the only busneiss that pays the "wanted" price for equpiment and supplies while being told how much someone will pay for their product.

And weather is still the biggest factor. Old time Cow/calf operators followed one rule..... when your calves are ready to sell, ship 'em, regardless of the market price.
Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place

That's how's it's been around this farm since I was a little kid. We have/do play in the crop prodution some. Some years have been good some not. never collected any gov. funds for such. Yhe only gov. money collected here has been some of the drought relife funds to help with feed and water (water was our issue ) last few years most cattle men across the country has done the same
