My beef with GMO products is poo poo like Terminator seeds and the effects that they have on nearby crops; the seeds produce infertile plants, but they can reduce the fertility rate of anything downwind by dusting it with infertile pollen. Then there's the whole mess of patenting organisms that shouldn't be allowed but Monsanto pays off the politicians

Wrar posted:What's the advantage of taking the trees down? Cedar trees are thirsty motherfuckers and if you care about how much water is in your soil you'll probably be on a never ending quest to rid your land of them. They're like the weeds of trees.

I'm from South Texas and can almost 100% guarantee our friend circles don't overlap. I know some ranchers/landowners around here and have read studies showing that taking the cedar out of a chunk of land surrounding creeks increases the amount of water that runs down them (and into your watering tanks) with the same rain coverage. We don't get much rain down here so every bit of water management is precious. Oaks are pretty benign and give lots more shade than cedars, so they're left to form windbreaks; you can also burn oak in a fireplace, cedar will make you sick.

leica posted:But cedar is good for making planks then grilling fish on them Depending on where you live, "cedar" is probably a different species than what I'm talking about, which is mostly Ash Juniper (called mountain cedar) or Eastern Red Cedar; neither of those species have a pleasant smell when burnt and in the case of Eastern Red, are known to contain toxic oils  .

This may not be appropriate, and I certainly don't know anything about alcoholism, but it seems strange that there's no middle ground where you can have a few responsibly and not go on a bender.

I never thought i wanted to move to the midwest untill this thread. People do get pulled over and have their tanks dipped, though I don't think it happens too often to people driving smaller diesels (anything that can be driven without a CDL).
