    Where's my stimulus?

    Honestly I'm sick of all the stimulus, Democrat versus Republican drama. I do believe that every person that runs for some sort of political office just says what they think you want to hear.

    Food poisoning

    I would think that if you shared the same food you would both have gotten sick. I do think that it takes a little bit of time too. Perhaps he ate something earlier in the day that didn't agree with him.

    Average age of farmers

    I would think that they could be considered farmers. That could be what is driving the age lower than what I expected. 34 actually surprises me because I would have put it closer to 40.

    Take risk or play it safe?

    Play it safe for sure. The farming industry is too touch-and-go for me to reach out to try new things. I guess if I was making a lot of profit I would be more willing to try new things.

    Breed or artificial inseminate

    Do you breed or use artificial insemination for your animals? What's the pros and cons? I would think that if you didn't have the male animal you would have to "rent" one. Is it cheaper than artificial insemination?

    Do you have a preferred month for piglets

    We are looking into breeding some of our pigs. Do you have a specific time you aim to have the piglets born and why? I know it is 114 days from insemination so you can plan.

    Overuse of equipment

    We are careful to track the time used of our equipment too. We do this with our maintenance schedule. Do you have two of the same piece that you overused? What is going on with the piece?

    Sledding and snowmen

    Oh yeah! After chores we play in the snow. It's amazing how tired and worn out the children are until it is time to play in the snow. I have to admit that I love the snowball fights!

    Watching the birds

    Yes, I'm one of those people. I love to bird watch, really I like watching a lot of animals. I hung up some new feeders last week and put suet in them. I've already had three different birds this morning. I'm like a kid in the candy store, tell your friends birdies where the food is at.

    Licorice plants edible or not?

    Interesting for sure. To be honest I had no idea where licorice came from. I didn't know there was a plant. Very interesting to me, thanks for teaching me something new.

    Vaccine priority for ag workers?

    Here in my area, they aren't even done vaccinating the health care workers. There isn't enough of the vaccine. We certainly aren't hearing more about it now here like we were before.

    Biden Administration Announces Foreclosure Moratorium and Mortgage Forbearance Deadline Extension That Will Bring Relief to Rural Residents

    You see both sides of him right now. A lot of unions and oil workers aren't happy with him (and rightfully so). I'm not a fan of his and I won't be becoming one anytime soon. I really wish we had 2 better candidates to choose from. There's always hope in 4 years.

    Skunked

    Honestly I think what worked was the peroxide and Dawn. My mom was allergic to tomatoes so we never had tomato juice in the house. She always just used orange juice and I guess I never switched it up as an adult.

    The End Of The World?

    Probably as many people that did the same when President Trump was sworn into the office (the "not my President" democrats. Seriously though, people have been stocking up on ammo, food and toilet paper for months. I, for one, have been buying ammo whenever I could get my hands on it, ever since...

    Skunked

    I've had numerous dogs that have been sprayed by skunks! What a pain! We washed them with orange juice first and then peroxide and Dawn. I think we gave them 2 or 3 baths to get rid of the smell.

    Biden Administration Announces Foreclosure Moratorium and Mortgage Forbearance Deadline Extension That Will Bring Relief to Rural Residents

    I'm all for helping people with loans if they were affected by COVID-19. I think it's great that they are doing this. I don't like the whole, renters not paying landlords. This isn't new to the Biden administration, it was the same in the Trump administration. I just feel bad for the landlords...

    Peeling a boiled egg

    Thanks for all the tips! I swear my wife gets so mad at the eggs. Sometimes I swear she is going to throw them at the wall. I will tell her the cold water trick.

    Equipment mechanic

    I like the way Jack thinks. If he has any experience (even schooling) he could be a big help too (and cheap). I would definitely let him work with me. I would not want to bother a professional though. We pay by the hour so I wouldn't want the student to slow him down.

    UK, Japanese, South Africa strain

    I'm watching the news and there are so many mutations of the original virus. South Africa, UK and Japan now have their own strand of COVID-19. It's a scary situation. They say it is mutating because of the amount of people that have it.

    Taco dip

    I know a lot of people make it without the meat. Not us, I like meat. I had a friend who made it with turkey burger and I thought it was just nasty! We eat this dip with corn chips or scoops.
