tntfarm - 11/30/2016 10:46 ........but I do think that participation will not be optional. All that to ask where this cost fits in? Agreed Terry. The above statement is a large part of my diving into covers. Hearing stories from the Chesapeake Bay farmers, DMWW (Des Moines Water Works), and now Ohio with the Lake Erie algae leads me to believe that it is only a matter of when, not if......that we will all be required to "participate" I want to have the kinks worked out well before this happens. So, just how does one put that into a cost/ROI formula? I wish I had a pic of it, but it is normal to see the old corner posts (railroad irons sunk into concrete 4'x4'x4') in muck fields sticking up out of the ground more than 24". So just where did that 24" of muck / soil go? Or is it that the frost heaved the 4' deep chunks out of the ground? Many believe the frost is the culprit and that we have not lost any of the original soil. Me? When I see acres of brown or black snow every winter.... ....I have my answer. |
