And there go the prairie potholes....
I understand more than you probably imagine. The fact remains that water that runs out of those tiles is water that otherwise would be recharging aquifers or filling wetlands. This is the case, even if it only happens when the water table is higher in the spring. My beef isn’t only with grid...- NoWiser

The big 18 and adult things?
Get a budgeting app like YNAB so you know where every dollar of yours is going. You’ll quickly learn where to prioritize your spending. You’ll likely end up being able to spend more on your hobbies because your money won’t just disappear on little, stupid purchases.- NoWiser

I’m not sure what part of what I said was incorrect . What else would the water be doing that’s drained through the tile? I suppose a very small percentage might run off the surface. Some might evaporate. But, the vast majority that’s now piped directly to our waterways would either be soaking...- NoWiser

To expand on that, the pipe is typically discharged into drainage ditches or streams. It essentially takes water that should be creating wetlands or recharging the aquifers and sends it directly into our waterways, often loaded with additional nutrients.- NoWiser

Wolf Activist Put $10K BOUNTY on WY Wolf Hunters
I killed a wolf in 2012 in MN when they had their first season. MPR interviewed me when I registered it. A couple of years later I discovered a folder in my Facebook Messenger that I didn’t know existed. It was absolutely full of death threats. Probably pushing 100 of them. It was funny reading...- NoWiser

And there go the prairie potholes....
I learned that our wetland is not a considered a protected wetland due to it being restored on former ag ground. It’s a complicated situation. The state designed the restoration. They then designed the tile line that destroyed it. I warned them it would happen and the engineer dismissed my...- NoWiser

And there go the prairie potholes....
We restored a wetland on our property two years ago. It included a conservation easement. Last year we had broods of mallards, bluewing teal, wood ducks, and hooded mergansers raised on it. Muskrats, mink, cranes, and a million frogs moved in. The neighboring farmer didn’t like it and installed...- NoWiser

Trump Account thoughts
My kids are too old so I only get to invest in other’s kid’s Trump accounts. My philosophy, right or wrong, is to concentrate on investing heavily into mine and my wife’s own retirement savings. My kids can scrape by when they start out, like I did and still do. They can borrow for school if...- NoWiser

South Dakota Deer Draw
South Dakota laughed at my 5 points and charged me $20.00 for another. I was really wanting to draw and take my kids out there with me.- NoWiser
