It's feeding time for the piglets at the State Fair.

Tribute to our Horses and Livestock Pets ,Stop slaughter,Export and close the horse sale barns.They are not disposable pets.

I just go over some of the science from the book of mormon, might have been removed because of the 18+ flag.

No need to wait till the next election to exercise your right to vote, to practice a little democracy, and taking advantage of a capitalist system. Music by Orbital - Halcyon Thanks Jay, I forgot. Aside from Jootbooner, who has been the only vlogger I've seen so far, who has shown us the simple and vast, yet local possibilities, of course Smokescreen, rclark, ConspiracyCentral and many others have illuminated our path to a lifestyle of sustainability with less fears and worries about the outcome of the future.

But what distinguishes Catigbian from other towns is its annual festival, the Katigbawan. A week-long festival comprising of various activities like carabao-racing, hog-catching, agrofair, motorcross and a search for Miss Katigbawan. This affair happens only in June.

Sustainable agriculture refers to the ability of a farm to produce food indefinitely, without causing irreversible damage to ecosystem health. Two key issues are biophysical (the long-term effects of various practices on soil properties and processes essential for crop productivity) and socio-economic (the long-term ability of farmers to obtain inputs and manage resources such as labor). The physical aspects of sustainability are partly understood (Altieri 1995). Practices that can cause long-term damage to soil include excessive tillage (leading to erosion) and irrigation without adequate drainage (leading to accumulation of salt in the soil). Long-term experiments provide some of the best data on how various practices affect soil properties essential to sustainability. While air and sunlight are generally available in most geographic locations, crops also depend on soil nutrients and the availability of water. When farmers grow and harvest crops, they remove some of these nutrients from the soil. Without replenishment, the land would suffer from nutrient depletion and be unusable for further farming. Sustainable agriculture depends on replenishing the soil while minimizing the use of non-renewable resources, such as natural gas (used in converting atmospheric nitrogen into synthetic fertilizer), or mineral ores (e.g., phosphate). Possible sources of nitrogen that would, in principle, be available indefinitely, include: 1. recycling crop waste and livestock or human manure 2. growing legume crops and forages such as, peanuts, or alfalfa that form symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia 3. industrial production of nitrogen by the Haber Process uses hydrogen, which is currently derived from natural gas, but could instead be made by electrolysis of water using electricity (perhaps from solar cells or windmills) or 4. genetically engineering (non-legume) crops to form nitrogen-fixing symbioses or fix nitrogen without microbial symbionts. The last option was proposed in the 1970s, but would be well beyond the capability of current (2007) technology, even if various concerns about biotechnology were addressed. Sustainable options for replacing other nutrient inputs (phosphorus, potassium, etc.) are more limited. In some areas, sufficient rainfall is available for crop growth, but many other areas require irrigation. For irrigation systems to be sustainable they must be managed properly (to avoid salt accumulation) and not use more water from their source than is naturally replenished, otherwise the water source becomes, in effect, a non-renewable resource. Improvements in water well drilling technology and the development of submersible pumps have made it possible for large crops to be regularly grown where reliance on rainfall alone previously made this level of success unpredictable. However, this progress has come at a price, in that in many areas where this has occurred, such as the Ogallala Aquifer, the water is being used at a greater rate than its rate of recharge. Socioeconomic aspects of sustainability are also partly understood. Regarding nonindustrialized farming, the best known analysis is Netting's (1993) study on smallholder systems through history.

Three news worthy items from the daily news covering such topics as... known carcinogens in soda's (but sush! its a secret don't tell anyone). Flea Market in Tennesee possible terrorist tarket ... humm... let's just think on this one for awhile..maybe then it will make sense, and last but not least by any stretch of the imagination... Tennesee to be the first state to micro chip all farm animals and fish.. seems they want to get a head start before the federal law requiring all states to chip farm animals goes into effect. Yep big brother wants to know your farm animals whereabouts too. Surveillance... not just for humans anymore, kinda makes you feel warm and cozy just thinking about it huh.
