Cattle ranching, meet conservation: The National Audubon Society’s case for “bird-friendly beef”
I hiked a mile back in the wilderness on an unmarked trail for this?
Devil’s Advocate
Are you playing the devil’s advocate if you change your mind and find yourself agreeing with the devil?
I really enjoy the trashy nature of thumbing through the Ag Tiktok. 🐮 🚜
Since they “upgraded” my phone to unlimited bandwidth for free (well, in-effect 60 GB a month) …
I really enjoy the trashy nature of thumbing through the Ag Tiktok. 🐮 🚜
There seems to be almost unlimited hours of country boys, rednecks, farmers and ranchers doing silly and stupid things with quads, pickup trucks, tractors, cattle and manure spreaders. I can almost taste the diesel smoke and silage through Tiktok. And the humor is just wonderful, grasped in reality, down to earth nature that people who make a living from the land only have.
And it sure beats that crap they have on the color television, which I don’t own and have no desire to ever own. I don’t plan to ever make Tiktok myself, but I sure do enjoy watching them when I want some kind of trashy distraction from everyday lives by the cowboys of interwebs.

As the avian flu rips through the United States, birds across the country are contracting the fatal disease, including bald eagles.
At least three bald eagles who contracted bird flu are dead, Georgia's Department of Natural Resources said Thursday. The highly pathogenic avian influenza has been detected in more than 25 states, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department.
Weather Update – April 15, 2022
Beautiful weather today and then less beautiful weather tomorrow 🌞
But it’s going to rain by afternoon in the Adirondacks, and maybe cloud up around here. It all depends how dicy the weather gets. Going to be windy out later on too. Very low dew point so the wildlife risk is high, so don’t be burning shit, illegally or otherwise. Then rain and showers tomorrow and very cold for Easter. Monday might be sunny but still pretty cold, especially with the wind, so I Might end up going into the office.
