re: Banning Modern Agriculture and High Crop Yields?

No way is this true. Organic almost always requires tillage and that allows soil erosion. Farmers use practices that maximize profits, long term.

I have one also.

Plowing fields went by the wayside years ago, most is notilled. Way less fuel, time spent, and soil erosion.
Notilled not noticed.
re: Agribusiness groups, Farm Bureau urge use of CRP lands for grain

Don't believe anything from the Environmental Working Group. They don't represent modern production agriculture. The environmental benefits gained during that 10 year rental time didn't get lost, erosion was reduced in that time.Most CRP land that is in the Midwest and upper south would never be plowed in returning to crop land, it would likely be noticed, continuing to reduce erosion.
I agree with your dislike of CRP. Back when I farmed full time in the eighties and nineties we had to compete with USDA for farm ground. It saved soil but reduced the money in the local economy since fertilizer, seed, chemicals, fuel, machinery, parts weren't needed for CRP. I actually had a USDA guy want me to talk to a land owner into enrolling. I didn't but I don't think he saw the irony in that.

I will hope Georgia wins, they are East Champs and their defensive coordinator is from my home town, Dan Landing.
I think Haisley Crawford won the 100 meters in the Olympics maybe 1976. He was 230 lbs. or so.
Probably an injunction stopped it because non GMO soybeans were being damaged by spraying dicamba on nearby fields. Lawsuits followed. Ag departments fielded complaints and it goes to court to avoid settling it with guns.
re: Is Biden the worst President we've ever had?

I lived thru that embargo, but the early eighties during Reagan's term were much harder for farmers. Record high interest rates, two droughts, record number of bankruptcies and farm forclosues. An adminstration that didn't seem too concerned although the CRP program was in fact a bailout that put a floor under tumbling land prices. Herbert Hoover would be the worst president ever. The Great depression...hunger,food lines, desperation and near revolt according to friends that lived then.
Vaccinating pets for rabies is a winning plan. It protects pets and people. Of the argument is it's too expensive, you shouldn't have them in the first place.

We raised and butchered hogs in the winter. My dad always ate pigs feet, liver, neck bones. We rendered lard and made cracklings out of skins. We never cooked chitlins though.
How do you ear out?
