Well, we have not used any GMO crops on our farm yet. I am thinking of doing one year of roundup ready corn and do a weed burn down. I have began to see fields that have been nothing but roundup the last few years are having more and more ragweed problems. My plan is do do roundup every few years and more conventional systems the other years and yes even some cultivating.
I am in favor of the locally grown systems, we do get a few items from the local farmers market, but our farmers markets are usually 6-12 stands and they are people I know and trust. We are also getting into more of processing our own animals we raise. We are also expanding our garden. I dont buy much of anything at Walmart. We have a small local general store that has everything from hardware to groceries and most things in between. I buy most of my items there. I believe we need guns for hunting and protection. I dont think we need assault rifles. I bet dynamite is fun too but you cant buy that legally for personal use. I understand that farming has to go this way, but Im wishing the country would be dotted with small farms. The small towns were full of buisnesses, there was demand for American built products such as tractors and other farm implements. With the decline of small farms we are seeing the decline of small town buisnesses and city factory jobs. I do believe the world is moving too fast and we need to sit back and not think we can but think if we should. So I guess I am ignorant. Jim

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
