Again, alot of assumptions being made on your part.

I'm not defending anything. My only point was that it's not as simple as what you suggested.

There's plenty of examples of developers trying to avoid permitting by using agricultural land (Crop land, not pasture; doesn't work on pasture) and still having to go through permitting because the Corps doesn't care about ag use.

Also examples of the Corps hammering crop guys and bankrupting them simply for trying to use cropland as cropland.

The Corps can be a nasty SOB at times.

You don't seem to be aware of the huge "right to repair" problem farmers face

I didn't say it wasn't a thing.

I said I don't know a single farmer that claims this is the reason they can't put more land in production. I know several guys that farm thousands of acres of multiple crops, and some of those guys have livestock as well.

I know alot of farmers, and have never heard one say the cost of repairing equipment was the reason they weren't trying to put more land in production.

Of course around here, it's the fear of converting a wetland and losing government benefits that stop most from converting forest land to cropland.

"The" Hawaiians cracked me up for some reason.

I mean, it's obvious where they were located, but would have been hilarious if they were actually based in some random arse place like one of the 50 Springfields.

Margins are way too close against NFL players half assing it in the dead of the offseason with no practice

39-14 and 43-16 ain't exactly close in flag football...:lol:

ETA: championship game was closer obviously, but these guys still beat NFL players. Maybe with more prep the NFL guys would perform better.

But also, why would any NFL team let any of their stars play in the summer olympics? This was several months before the season, and I'm still shocked franchises allowed it. I can't imagine Cincinnati actually allowing Burrow to play flag football in the Olympics just a few months before the season.

Is the NFL running it and going to force franchises to allow some legit stars to play?

Your opinion is wrong but good try

Please show me what was "opinion" in my comment.

I'll hang up and listen...

Sad because them boys actually from Louisiana. Maybe if LSU had some home grown boys where they grew up dreaming of being a LSU Tiger, it would mean more to them…

:lol:

You act like ULL is trying to only recruit LA players...like they only have 12 guys from out of state by choice.

Also, this is ironic considering how much ULL fans hate on McNeese (and some of the other schools). The fact is, every fanbase in the state hates on at least some of the others, and the majority of the rosters are made up of Louisiana players. So playing the "poor me" card because someone is clowning ULL with their All Louisiana roster is funny.

Hell, half of ya'lls Louisiana boys are from Lake Charles area (which ya'll clown for not even being part of LA) or North Louisiana (south Arkansas)....:lol:

Sir,

nobody believes this for even a second. Nobody, I mean nobody, was ever worried about Mcneese leaving any conference. Mcneese was not even decent in baseball in years. TF kinda statement is that. They are unanimously thought of as one of, if not the worst, programs in the Southland for many reasons. Cow patty smell is one of them

---

:rotflmao:

Yeah, that's why they gave McNeese the world.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.

ETA: Just gonna leave this here...

And that came 7 days after an article that said McNeese and UIW were leaving for the WAC.

And mcneese has a deal where they play the conference tourney on their home court every year so they have a better shot than most

---

Yeah, I mean it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they've been one of the Top 2 teams in the conference the last 3 years...

They had a hot run in 2023, but were below .500 at home in conference play going into the tournament.

But also, that deal is a direct result of the rest of the pansy asses in the Southland being scared that the conference would fold if we left, even though the only sport we had been decent at in years was baseball...:lol:

Well if you're ever interested in seeing what a local guy would cost/can offer, I'd love a chance to talk.

Not knocking Strickland and Co., but the guys like them and Land & Legacy are high demand because of their podcasts and videos. And their prices reflect that demand. Not saying they aren't good, because they definitely are, but there are guys out there just as good that aren't as high priced and probably more available.

I remember when L&L first became big and it was just Adam and Matt. Now they have tiered consulting services--gotta pay more to get one of them out there versus a junior guy.

Apologies for taking the thread down a different route (although the same ideas apply to forestry).

OP, might be worth reaching out to NRCS as well if you aren't satisfied with what you hear from the guys you have lined up, or state forester doesn't have any more recommendations. They might have a lead on some other guys that the state didn't recommend.

Hard to say for sure, but eagle with streak over the eye sounds like an Osprey.
