However if they told the readers that most of these "big" businesses were just family farms then it wouldn't fit the narrative that big business is bad and little guys are always good. Please don't misunderstand me here, if the farmer is just flushing nutrients down the river he is being wasteful and that is not a good business model. From what someone on here said a few months ago it sounds like the tiling is too close to the surface and that is how most of it is getting on the waterways. It really depends on the person, some when shown what they are doing will step back and take a good look and make a decision. Some will just dig in their heels and refuse to listen to anyone that doesn't have cow $hit on their boots. My old boss was like that, if you tried to straight up tell him it was raining he would argue just on principle but if it was his idea then everything was ok. I'm not a big fan of the current farming model, bulldoze and kill anything that doesn't make you a dime because we're an industry and industry makes money! I'm not pinning that on the farmers, but that is the way it is right now. If there is a good year you spend the profits to improve your farm such as pushing out trees and old fence rows and tiling wet spots. Then in poor years you push out more trees and fences because you can't afford to have the land setting idle. For as much as some curse buffer strips there may be a legitimate reason here to look at them.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
