  1. Till Or No-Till

    To whom it concerns: Hello All, 'Just wanted to add this to the scene: On a nice corner lot (3ac.) in Loomis Ca, I had tons of wood-chips delivered to my property and with a commercial skip-loader tractor and a landscape rake, spread the stuff around on top of bare soil in places for...
  2. Can You Use 15W40 Diesel Oil In A Gas Engine

    Dear Valdez, A standard diesel engine requires more protection since its compression is higher than gasoline engines. The grades of diesel oil are therefore a notch or so higher and therefore provide slightly more protection against wear than the standard oils recommended for gas engines...
  3. INFERNAL BRAKES???

    To IH tractorman, Thanks for that. I think the same thing re: the "Could vs. Should" concept! Those "engineers" who probably never even owned a tractor or used one, much less wrenched on one, should steer clear of designing them. That's just my, and I think YOUR opinion as well. Thank...
  4. Fixing a cracked beak?

    Dear Ch1Ch2, You are absolutely correct! My apologies. I don't remember where I heard that it was developed FOR medical use, but apparently that is not the case. I just learned that the "medicinal" variety is more supple, but is of the same chemical compounds. That makes sense for it to...
  5. INFERNAL BRAKES???

    Dear Farmers, Contractors, Tractor operators of all types, This comes to you in the form of a question: What in God's Green Earth were the designers thinking when they (the many manufacturers) decided (nearly all of them have conspired) to frustrate the industry by replacing a SIMPLE, tried...
  6. Eat healthy! Need ideas

    Not to "hog" the thread, but I'd like to inject this as well. Moringa Oliefera is a tropical tree out of India with a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and......well: Moringa oleifera is a plant that is often called the drumstick tree, the miracle tree, the ben oil tree, or the...
  7. Eat healthy! Need ideas

    Daddio7, Saccharin, if I'm not mistaken, is in the same group as Aspartame. They both are unnatural, and there is always consequences when one consumes unnatural food items. The food industry claims that GMO products are perfectly safe, but are they telling us the truth? Consider what GMO...
  8. Fixing a cracked beak?

    No, cutting it off is NOT a good idea. Glad to hear that your prayers were answered, and that the super-glue worked just fine. I'm always amazed at the suggestion of "DUCK TAPE." First of all, there is no such thing! It is called "duct" tape, because it us widely used in the HVAC...
  9. Global food security

    Since "supply problems" certain do exist, as mentioned, it would be natural to think that a "point of use" system would be at least a contributor to the solution. Home gardening is available to nearly everyone who has a yard. Even some potted vegetation on the patio is helpful if that's all...
  10. Future industry trends

    I agree with Farmhand totally. Organic farming will likely remain. Food quality at the consumer level seems to have declined, and people's taste-buds have noticed the difference. While there have been improvements which decreased delivery time, there is the ever-present worry over systemic...
  11. Eat healthy! Need ideas

    It's a difficult thing these days since EVERY other commercial is strong on greasy, cheesy, meaty foods. Yes, I would eat all that and more, if I didn't know about the clogging of the arteries. We all know the scoop now, though. I'm surprised that Mc.D's and the myriad of fast food joints are...
  12. Fixing a cracked beak?

    Super glue was originally designed to repair breaks in human skin, whether it be accidental or during a surgical procedure, so the glue is the perfect solution to your chicken's problem, as Andrew T has pointed out. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
