I do that occasionally ... just for sport.  Nothing wrong with disagreeing with your past self. If your opinions never change, it means you haven't learned anything. :-) Nor admitting a mistake. When I was a poor college lad I worked in an auto parts warehouse. Had an old foreman who told us ... "Boys. Never be afraid of making a mistake. If ya never make a mistake, it just means you're not working."  |

Long may the independent N Dakota potato producers prosper. We need them. |

 Not really agriculture but the shrimp fleet on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts is being crippled by a perfect storm of economic events. Record harvests and record imports have led to glut on the market at the exact same time fuel and commodity prices have peaked. The boat price for shrimp at the docks in Louisiana has fell to a modern level low not seen since the late 1960's or early 1970's. The price as of june 23 is 1.75 per pound for jumbo 10-15 count shrimp if you can find a buyer. Many boats in Texas are going to stay tied to the dock for the Texas opening on July 15th afraid they will not even be able to pay for their fuel. www.thewestsidejournal.com/lifestyle/louisiana-shrimpers-face-high-diesel-prices-cheap-imports/article_2bb4acba-f246-11ec-ba3f-6b564445e774.html |

These Dutch administrators are either 1) plain stupid, or 2) intentionally set on destroying their ag sector and/or their own population (see number 1). Maybe the farmers should drag them out of their cushy offices and explain life's rules for survival.  Go Holland-ag! |

I do not understand the problem the EU has with "nitrogen emissions" - mostly ammonia apparently.
The gas is hugely water soluble and would be washed out of the atmosphere really quickly. Its oxidation products are also mostly soluble, except possibly N2O.
But then, any sanity left a long time ago.
