I don't know about the biomass deal. While use'n wood chips or other "waste" might be doable, most of what I am hearing about the biomass is the switch grass hay. If I can't pencil out making hay to feed cows here at the house with, how in the world am I going to make hay for the ethanol plant, haul it 30 miles and make money? If we take enough acres out of hay/pasture production to feed our gas tanks what is that going to do to the price of beef at the store? Some around here are talking about use'n broiler litter, well cheap litter is the only thing letting alot of row crop farmers around here squeek out a profit with fertalizer and grain prices what they are.

Only way we are going to break free from the mid east oil t** is to start drilling here and now. We have enough off shore and other oil here to last 100+ years. By them maybe all the mid east crazies will have kill each other out and we can go back to do'n buisness with who ever is left.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a ... [Read Article]
