Catching Up on Ag News

Posted on 5 September 2011 by rcornish

Once again I find myself having virtually ignored this blog for way to long. Once again it is not because of lack of things that are agricultural in nature. Reality is, I have just been short on time for most of the last little bit and when that has not been the case, I have just been lazy. Regardless, more than a few things that I have noted about that I felt I should bring up here on the farm site. So, as I did once before not so long ago, an entry about several different things in brief. I have not completely decided, but I may even make this a somewhat regular feature.

Apparently though, that was merely lip service to make the folks like me and the number of outraged and affected farmers from previous problems with GMO’s in the past. Continue reading →

Catching Up with Ag

Posted on 21 November 2010 by rcornish

I have not posted here in, well, going on two months at least. Once again it is not for lack of things to post about either. I have somewhere on the order of at least twenty posts to make that are farm and agriculture related. Alas, I have not the time to give them all the time that deserve. Hopefully we will get to covering the thoughts that I have here in the future on a more regular basis. In fact, just as with the other blogs, it is the intent to promise a at least one blog over the weekend that will always give you something to look forward to on Mondays. That does not mean I will not post during the week, just that there is a plan to always post over Saturday/Sunday. Anyway, given that I am so behind, I thought I would share a few short notes about several things… Continue reading →
