I really appreciate your explanation of the elevator thing. I did not know that a grain elevator was so digital. I see them driving to my mom’s house a lot from the city and always just sort of assumed "big place you keep the stuff beer comes from in". Do you have a way to reduce flooding on your land? Digging drainage paths and the like? Or is that actually good for a ranch? I am an actual agriculture idiot. I feel like the whole career field is still at least 50% magic.

Seat Safety Switch posted:They also explode from time to time. It's surprisingly complicated trying to manage it. That poo poo is nuts, I know about any fine substance being explosive but gently caress me grain explosions kill 18? Nature. loving nature. I would be really interested in seeing the inside of a grain elevator, and look forward to actuall dump trucking. Please continue to live out 5-year-old AcidRonin's Farming career fantasy's the lot of you.

I will buy the bobcat and then engage in construction projects like flipping his solara over. AcidRonin fucked around with this message at 13:21 on Aug 26, 2013 |

Used Sunlight sales posted:How was your week? I turned wrench on my new bike in suburbia and cried deeply when i realized it would never be as cool as your army of big machines. I then went to the store and bought some cowflesh to cook for dinner. It was tasty. That story about flipping a fat guy’s car into a pond about made my day though. Part of me wonders what a cow must thing when they see you in big machines or a big section of fence get vaporized. Then i realize that it's a cow, and it cant understand.

This sounds....like something that should not be done  . When you say Mecca, do you mean the JD Store or something? I don't think DC Has one of those....so I'm not really sure.

Used Sunlight sales posted:Yes, and my thought behind the joke is that it's a pilgrimage I seem to make a The joke was funny, I just don't have any experience buying name-brand industrial farm equipment. Something that torments me nightly. I take it they are one of the best for this sort of thing? Seems like they do good work though (I.e. Comeing out to your ranch and helping with installs) but maybey all these farming-gear companys do that

Out of curiosity, what do you power with the solar panels? I would assume buildings on the ranch? Also how does one win the "Excellence in Grazing Management Award" because the son of a bitch is mine this year.

Used Sunlight sales posted:Yes, the cows are #1, they pay the bills. They get taken care of first. Some days that takes all day, some days...about 45 minutes. Heh.

OR. You could show up to the protest with a legion of Heifers. Just saying. Nothing says quit your homophobic crap quite like a stampede orchestrated but the cow wizard.

Used Sunlight sales posted:Back to the grind, anyone want to come take a 'working vacation' and be my 'driver' for a couple days? Don't joke. I think the constant wall to wall traffic makes your job look super extra appealing. That and the idea of doing a "Prescribed burn" of certain parts of my office fills me with a more than likely unhealthy giddiness. This is probably the wrong thread for this completely but since you have answered questions about ranching and cow things before, can you explain why this thing with the cattle rancher in Nevada is 'a thing'? I feel like I have missed something every time it comes across the news. Look forward to more dump trucking!
