Silvel Diesel Heater. Follow up video. THE TENT. What have I learned. Questions answered.

They seem to work pretty good until the EPA catches on and starts to ban their import. They're relatively inexpensive and maybe some point I'll have to get one, as it sure would be nice to heat my truck cap with one, you can run it all night and just warm, dry air pushed into your truck cap or tent, while the dirty diesel burning part it's outside. Does require about an 1 amp of electricity an hour (12 watts) to run though though.

Change in Grasslands – Pasture in Albany County from 2001 to 2019

Multiple, often contradictory things can happen to land cover over two decades, as you can see with this map.
 
Suburban sprawl in the area around the city reduced the amount of grasslands over the 18 year period, while in more outlaying areas the decline of dairy meant less silage and corn was planted but more grass was grown/grazed for beef.
