South Dakota pheasants ?

[skeet]

I do agree that farmers have had a pretty rough time of it.. It is however partly their fault..at least in the past. They let the value of their crops get away from them. The futures traders took over the valuation of the crops from farmers long ago. I know..I was a farmer for many years. But the deed was done by the time I got nto it. Farmers out west got together at one time and formed Co-Ops..but they were even seduced. Then the gummit got involved and it all went to H in a handbasket. And as Nulle said. The soil bank went away and everythig went to H as far as pheasants were concerned. Wasn't just pheasants either. Erosion into the Chesapeake bay was at the worst in the 70's and 80's...just in time for ditch to ditch planting. They did and the bay suffered tremendously. Everywhere did. Soil erosion in the prairie states has trippled since 1950. But again..ethanol and bio fuels will not even begin to comensate for the fuels that will be necessary in the future. And believe this..The price will escalate. maybe exponentially. Hate to see this ethanol and bio fuel thing. It is just a temporary thing that will die out and then the plants will be just sitting there...doing nothing...cept maybe making WHISKEY..good ol Corn likker!!
