JD I really don't care what you think. Most scientist agree. The current nitrate problem has been cause by farmers. And any old excuse to prop corn and bean prices are good enough. To keep pumping nitrates into the ground WITHOUT REGARD the the consequences. Show me your real info from real independent sources that proves that the nitrates are not coming from farmers. Especially when the area affected is UPSTREAM for an urban area. Just sheer greed. Look I know a lot of guys are struggling. Ask yourself why? When Corn went to 7 bucks farmers not bankers, farmers not retirees, farmers not business people, farmers not workers took 33 million acres out of CRP according to the government. That went into corn the next season. But look at this Mr high and mighty. If too much fertilizer is causing problems why not cut back a little? So what if you lose 20 BPA on corn? Is that too much to ask? Sure it is cause it cuts into your bottom line. You'd rather poison the water table and suck the streams and lakes dry rather than lose production. Now if Exxon moved in next to you and started doing something that polluted ground water and made local streams and lake go dry you'd scream bloody murder. But it's OK for you to do EXACTLY the same thing and it's OK cause you are a farmer? Sorry I hold you to the same standards. I',m sorry that you don't seem to have any standards.
As far as my retirement? I made a contract with the government. I upheld my end of that contract. So I am being paid what was in that contract. What's wrong with that? I would hope that if you made a contract with someone that you would uphold your end as long as they upheld their end. Bet you not only get money because of forced ethanol sales (back door subsidy keep, corn artificially high.) but through government backed crop insurance. And just what service are you providing to be at that government hog trough? You are producing a product for sale. You ain't provided a service in some time.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
