    Solar Energy Comments due April 18, 2024

    I never proposed them being off grid. Net metering is what I was thinking and you are at the delivery point then. If all new construction was engineered and required to be capable of producing and accounting for some percentage of its demand, that frees up those Kwhs to be used elsewhere. But...

    Solar Energy Comments due April 18, 2024

    But if it is capable of generating enough for the building it is on or reducing its reliance on the grid, that is less drawn from the grid and available for other purposes is it not? If the Govt pushed (read incentivized) for this scenario instead of subsidizing large scale projects, it could...

    2024 BHA Rendezvous in Minneapolis

    As a North Dakotan, I second that emotion! If it were not the chance to check out the new Captain of the ship (BHA CEO), I for sure would not be going to the Twin Shitties!

    DIY silnylon

    Its not a teepee and was built with walls because because teepees waste so much space. Hard to see in photo, but it is basically a 7 foot by 5 foot sleeping area with a triangular area for the stove added to the sleeping area. Height at peak is 7 foot so I can stand up and put my clothes on. I...

    Baiting Bill (1151) is Senate side

    According to NDGF Deputy Director as of Saturday (1/6/2024), they had not yet met the 10% but were close, so not sure how they could have done that and completed testing them by today. Possible it may happen, but rumors.

    Deer Hunters - Opinion

    Not ranting, just trying to put out some information that most people are unaware of. The Federal Crop Insurance program we largely pay for goes way beyond your trying to "prevent massive failures" scenario. The cadillac version basically removes all risk at the individual level even to the...

    Deer Hunters - Opinion

    The analogy to Tarp is most relevant in that we act like farmers should never fail these days and some farmers should definitely fail because they are terrible farmers or make multiple bad decisions (just like some financial institutions did stupid shit causing the bailout)! Should all...

    Deer Hunters - Opinion

    US taxpayers cover 60-70% of the crop insurance premiums for farmers. We are enjoying the benefits of the system put in place about a decade ago (2014 Farm Bill). Remove the impetus for growing corn and soybeans in what should be wheat and cattle country (the ethanol mandate that decreases...

    Deer Hunters - Opinion

    That is why the Farm Bill is so important for sportsman to get behind and be involved with. Habitat programs of this scale will only ever come about with Federal money. I would argue that if it was not for the stupid ethanol and soybean subsidies, we would still be enjoying substantial CRP...

    Wisconsin legislators press DNR board appointees on hunting wolves, cranes

    That makes more sense as they will do the same to corn plants in NE when they are there in the spring if the farmers pushed the planting envelope and it is starting to sprout. Typically easier to find waste grain in the fields during migration/staging.

    Wisconsin legislators press DNR board appointees on hunting wolves, cranes

    That is interesting because in the Central Flyway during migration, cranes occur in soybean fields, but I can tell you for a fact that it never shows up in their be digestive system. They are feeding on worms and other invertebrates in the soybean fields and can certainly tear up an area. Corn...

    Fire kit

    Don't get much lighter and non-bulky than peelings from a paper birch tree vacuum sealed for emergency tinder. Nature's burn even when wet offering.

    School funding

    Best post of the decade! As someone who has sat on the Boards of a variety of sportsman's groups for over 30 years, I have watched this apathy slowly creep to the level it is. Think about it: Very little in this world improves or persists without involvement and effort from those who care about...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    Exactly. Compared to an Indiana mule deer (none) or whitetail? Perspective and baseline is everything. I am guessing you were seeing exactly what huntin24/7 says, 120-130 inch deer that a lot of people who know the real baseline for Montana don't even blink at.

    Baiting Bill (1151) is Senate side

    I'm not the person to ask about compromise, I say never give an inch when it comes to the welfare of our resources. You walk both sides of the issue here and on other sites yet say you don't care which is BS. You obviously are in the the pro-baiting camp based on what I have seen but know you...

    Baiting Bill (1151) is Senate side

    Yep, it's that damn west Minnesota's (Fargo) fault. You do realize that less than 10% of the active households in ND are farmsteads and 65% of our population live in towns of 2000+ people right?

    Baiting Bill (1151) is Senate side

    This was their compromise to appease the vocal minority's tantrum back then (which I thought was BS). At least it has a molecule of logic from the transmission perspective. Even when G&F tried to listen to and compromise with the selfish, they turned around and attempted to stab them in the back...
