As A Florida native of many generations ( My mother's family settled here in the late 1800's ) I will say most all of our problems with runoff and algae bloom are man made problems. We build houses on land that was once a swamp and then let all the runoff go into our rivers just so we can have a nice yard. We allowed the Army Corp of Engineers to build a dike around Lake Okeechobee to control the water flowing into the Everglades just to appease US Sugar Corporation and the developers of the land around Miami. Then we built a Interstate across what was left of the Everglades and interrupted the flow of the river of grass even more. We will never be able to rectify the damage we have done to this state over the last 100 years. I wish I could have seen this country in the 1800's before we totally screwed it up. My daughter has told me many times that I was born a hundred years to late and that I would have been happier running wild cattle on the Kissimmee river basin farming a few orange trees and selling my goods to the Cubans in the late 1800's than I am now. The people and the government of Florida are there own worst enemy. Any of you that want to make a trip down here let me know and I will show what is left of the old Florida. But you better hurry it's not going to be here much longer

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
