re: Farm group says ag in full blown crisis

Because there is no money in growing just for domestic consumption. Many of you have no idea just how expensive row crop farming is. From the cost of land, inputs, equipment, etc.
Plus, it's just not corn or beans that are exported, We export value added products like soymeal and oil.
Withdrawing into fortress America will be economically devasting to the ag industry.
First, the cost of land is all Bulshite. Most of it is expensive due to hunting or recreation. The farmers don't have to "own" it. But you aren't wrong.
2ndly, again almost everything involved in farming is subsidized to some degree. The fact is you remove all these government subsidies that we spend to make it "profitable" to sell overseas and where does that leave us?
I'm as redneck and middle american as anyone, but at the same time I'm sorry we aren't talking about a lot of people here. We shouldn't be spending insane amounts of money to prop up an unprofitable business to sell internationally.
Support what we need domestically and let the market sort out the rest, imo.

Unfortunately she was nesting on the OTHER side of my roof. She basically crawled across my entire roof. I used the infrared camera this morning and I didn't see anything. So I'm hoping maybe she was just preparing. She doesn't look pregnant and her teets didn't have milk as best as I could tell. We'll see

This is a strictly political move. Its for temporary political points to get the country on board with the idea they don't NEED the US. But the reality is due to their location and infrastructure, they 100% do.
As pointed out they are already struggling. This idea they have money to lose is simply laughable.

Honest question, is farming to sell internationally even possible to do without US government financial assistance? If it’s not, why are we doing it anyway? Why not concentrate on growing plenty for the domestic market and that’s it?
We shouldn’t be trying to compete with Brazil, their labor and restrictions are not comparable.
ETA: also, why is China buying this? To eat? They still have to eat. You can’t just not feed your people. So what’s the real play here? If it’s to feed their pigs in which they then sell back to the US, this is absurd. Pork farmers in the US can just benefit.
I would have no doubt we are subsidizing farmers here to sell soybeans to China to feed their pigs to then send back to the US. When we could just help our local pork farmers

Raccoon down! Cell phone cam for the win. I threw 3 old pinfish on my roof as chum along with the couple in my trap. And the cell camera alerted me it was out and it was eating on a pinfish.
ETA: I’m worried she gave birth 1-2 nights ago. I’ve had the camera out and this is the first I’ve seen of her. She came out and was feeding on the pinfish and I took my time and took a shot to the back of her head with my air gun. It wasn’t my preferred way but it worked perfect and was quick for both of us.

OT is slacking
F18 “lost at sea”
An F/-18E Super Hornet assigned to the carrier air wing embarked aboard aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) was lost at sea during a towing incident in the hangar bay Monday, according to a Navy announcement.
The single-seat Super Hornet assigned to the “Knighthawks” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 136, “was actively under tow in the hangar bay when the move crew lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft and tow tractor were lost overboard,” reads the statement.
“Sailors towing the aircraft took immediate action to move clear of the aircraft before it fell overboard. An investigation is underway.”

lol, no. Guy slipped and puts his arms down. People are walking and screwing around in all directions. I saw 0 evidence that anyone thought they were in danger.

highly dependent on where you are located. within 50 miles of major metropolis, you would be smart to GTFO.
I’d be curious to see some real world data. You’d assume everyone would leave the cities.
I’d think running very quickly and beating the rush would be smart, but at some point it’s like a hurricane evacuation and getting caught in a mass exodus would likely be catostrophic

re: Offline Trail Cam?
Posted by baldona on 4/27/25 at 4:21 pm
I hate to be the guy that disagrees with your request, and I’m not someone that runs a ton of cams. But in your scenario I would highly recommend a cell cam. They really aren’t that expensive and your time is probably worth it. Best part about a cell cam is the daily photo to know it’s working and aimed in the right spot. There’s nothing worse than driving an hour to check a camera only to find out it wasn’t working, a branch made it take 10,000 photos of nothing, etc.
When it comes to security it’s worth it to know instantly when there’s a trespasser.

re: Tent Camping in fresh snow
Posted by baldona on 4/26/25 at 10:41 pm
Some more info would help. Right now is beginning of mud season when the snow melts which is what you’ll experience. It’s one of the worst times to camp.
If it’s fresh snow and the ground is not frozen then I’d probably clean the snow up first. I wouldn’t want to set up on snow that’s going to melt. If it’s well below freezing then as said you can pack it down and set up on top of it with a water proof barrier.
