Buffer strip bill has support, opposition

[Trigger]

your boss is a total phucking moron...same with the soil guy. He either doesn't know his head from his ass or doesn't have the balls to say anything.

His boss is a moron, and drunk dynasty had it right, the soil guy was just being too polite and didn't want to upset the farmer because farmers are the reason we aren't starving to death right now so we need to kiss their ass every chance we get.

Lots of buffer strip stuff.

Hopefully it passes and they put some teeth into enforcing it.

The cynic in me thinks that's a long shot but you never know....

Keep hope alive.

When I burn my tires I do it a night so no one can see the smoke. Have you ever seen the amount of smoke carpeting makes? Better than tires.

How do buffer strips and burning tires have in common?

If you want to use extremes you should have said "if your neighbor wants to blow up a nuclear bomb ......."

You sound a lib wanting to make your neighbor live how you want them too.

Rotten pet piss stained carpet that is 30 years old is the best.

Farmer's property rights is a comical idea. Bet most anti regulation pricks complaining about the lib's, are the same ones on home owners associations that won't let a garage door sit open for more than 15 minutes, a no running car sit in the driveway, are out in a neighbors yard with a micrometer checking the lawns lengths or snitching if a driveway isn't cleared of snow in a timely manner, because it is affecting their home value.

What on earth would we do without all that high fructose corn syrup.

Nothing like the government telling people what to do on there private property that they make a living off of! or they will get a fine...Got to love socialism.

[Quack]

You must be joking!
Socialism is taxing everyone to subsidize crop production, even when prices are high.

Why is it such an infringement to demand some quality compliance when they take money out of my pay? Conservation compliance for rural welfare recipients & drug testing for "family" welfare recipients.

The American farmer is socialist.


Subsidized crop insurance, ethanol mandates, multi-billion dollar "disaster" reliefs when there's a bad crop, all pushed for by farmers and funded by the government (aka John Q Taxpayer).

It's funny that they don't bitch about all that stuff since they're such free market capitalists?

The best part is that once they've destroyed their water, which they're well on their way to doing, they'll blame the government and expect them to fix it.

Part of the problem is farmers view this as "their" water. For people that are supposed to be so attached to the land, how do they turn a blind eye to the destruction they are causing downstream?

[Stute Slap]

The real problem is the utter stupidity of the American public. The companies who purchase the grain are the ones influencing legislation, subsidies, all designed to make corn as cheap as possible. Change won't happen by blaming Joe Farmer. I realize this concept is probably too large for most people to understand, but that's why there are sheep and sharks I guess.

Anywho - I was just pricing/looking for a place to buy 1/4 of organic, grass fed beef...no shit. Spendy but I think worth it. Anybody here know a good spot? (I know this is a long shot)

One thing for sure is I'm done buying meat from some shitty big box grocery store. I really don't even care about pollution or farmers, etc I just think those slaughter factories are f'ing gross.

LOL so true. I was pheasant hunting in SD by the MO river. The farmer dumps his trash in the river at night. I had got to know him over the years and when he was drinking funny chiat was said.

I mean every bit of his trash dead cows, pigs, everything without his address on it. He claimed it made the fishing better and all the people in St. Louis could pick up the garbage. I am chuckling while typing this. I could not believe it.

Have you ever met a farmer who litters?
