Go to local NRCS office. They can tell you for free and in a few minutes.
Where it says 2016-2017 hunting seasons. Very bottom under incidental species. Now that I reread it, it says NO incidental species in February, coyote, beaver, skunk, opossum, feral hog.
you can not shoot a pig with a whatever squirrel gun you are squirrel hunting with, during February. All orher months that season is open, you can shoot with whatever weapon is legal. Not Febuary though.

Just read pamphlet. No feral hogs may be harvested during feb squirrel season

I think the claim was, everything a farmer has Is subsidized and the reason farmers grow corn is because of ethanol subsidies. I'm not defending ethanol. I hate it. It's stupid. But it's just like wind and solar energy. It doesn't work without government mandated quotas and tax cuts/subsidies/incentives.

And that's not how farming works. Farmers don't know nor do most care where their corn goes once they cut and sell it. Ethanol may have, many years ago, driven the price of corn up short term. It's not a new market, in fact some plants closed or did not get built. Farmers aren't growing corn because of ethanol.

If they weren't making good money off it, then they wouldn't be so eager to grow corn to sell for ethenol.



Farmers grow corn to sell to grain elevators. It then can go to many places from there. They have little to no control where it goes, unless they sell directly to a chicken house. Ethanol has done very little to prop up the corn price for growers. Subsidies go to ethanol plants, which doesn't help a farmer, unless he is part owner I guess.

Ethanol is a no win for most everyone involved, except the plant owner I guess. Most farmers don't like it and couldn't care less if ethanol was not around.

Don't know what establishment would meet your refined palate approval. If you think all of these are less than desirable, I can't help you.

Also, not sure any of these have a "south LA counterpart and didn't know that was a requirement to have good food. Most of them are unique to the area and offer things you can't get elsewhere.

In your opinion, what isn't overpriced? Mcdonalds and Wendy's?

Can't print tags online. If you purchase a season license over the phone or online, they will mail tags to you I think. If you have a lifetime license you have to go somewhere that sells license and print deer tags. Makes no sense.
There was a series on the food network that ted Allen hosted, can't remember name. They tested food myths. They did a blindfolded taste test with liquid smoke vs smoked on the grill the traditional way. The tasters were expert BBQ and smoke masters. They either couldn't tell the difference or picked the liquid smoke over the traditional way, I can't recall.
Gotcha. Seems like it was $40 and $80 the one place I've seen both. $20 extra isn't bad.

Single barrel is double the $ of the small batch where I've seen it, iirc

Oh yeah. One rain event when beans are ready for harvest, means you may not harvest them. Same with cotton.
What dpark said. Rough figures, $10 per bushel for beans, average irrigated yield 55 bushel ( lots of variables, fertility, rain, insects, plant stand). Cost of production , $250 on low side figuring in rent and fertilizer could push $500 per acre.

On beans, breaking 60 bushels and $10 per bushel is the key. Marketing the crop is the key. Many guys pass up $11 waiting on $11.25 and end up settling for $10.
Did Obama pay his fair share?
Best part.....
