Yep – plant tall grasses in low areas and short grasses on top of hills with little water – this occurs naturally in the midwest, though the short grasses aren’t as short there as they are out here past the 100th meridian.

Thanks for the advice! Does anyone know if tallgrass prairie can coexist with shortgrass prairie?

When the top 1% control 65% of the nation’s wealth, there’s something wrong with the system. When the United States is ranked 93 in the world in income inequality, behind Egypt and India, there’s something wrong with the system. Obviously, you’re not reading any of the articles published about the movement and the things they stand for. If you…[Read more]

Yay, Matt Taibbi. Smart dude..add to your list, “Let the Bush Tax cuts expire” I think that is on Taibbi’s list as a simple demand, altho that is perhaps what you mean by “Repeal tax breaks that enable hedge funding.”

You are probably one of the 5 who have booked his trip to Estonia for the conference, it must be nice!!!   Fill us in when you get back, we are clueless, you know.

Very well said, Joshua!
 
99% support them too, I believe.  The only negativity comes from the media – no suprise there.
 
Your last remark…
All it took were the less than 100 ppl to speak up last month and NOW go to youtube and look at  the throngs worldwide!  And Craig, I don’t think things need to get violent.  Today, MSNBC reports, “Figh…[Read more]

See…we agree.

Everyone try to get the article by Matt Taibbi in the new Rolling Stone magazine. He lists a detailed set of reform demands that a clear leader of the OWS movement could use….
Break up the monopolies
Pay for your own bailouts
No public money for private lobbying
Repeal tax breaks that enable hedge funding
Change the way bankers get paid

I’m no clear if you are disturbed with the legislators or the protestors who think they can’t find jobs or both.
 
Temporary agriculture work is horrifically rough but I’m surprised it would get garbled into the immigration influx, as it should be another subject that has gone on for generations…. in the east along a “corridor” of crops that…[Read more]

Steve, I am glad you can be so charitable to the people who made the decision to invade Iraq and bandrupt our country and ruin our reputation. It is not hindsight with which I am judging them, however – thousands of people marched against the war before the war, it was obvious to all of us that it was a fiasco waiting to happen. The lies the Bush…[Read more]

So you don’t need to draw well at all as a designer, you just need to know some basic skills to communicate your ideas with your clients.  Excited?

Judith, If you know or have experience in arboriculture it is not hard.  By this I would include pruning, fertilization, climbing knots, chain saw safety, etc…
I wouldn’t worry about studying at all, learn the craft.  Don’t worry about the BCMA exam either, take that after you already are a Master Arborist.
If you want to really learn about a…[Read more]

It is very easy to make those determinations Trace from your arm chair armed with the benifet of hindsight. Shucks I could make every decision correctly too if I have the benifit of hindsight.  “Never critisize a man until you walk a mile in his shoes”  you have heard this be for correct?

This is because the banks are getting free money from the Fed and then the Fed is paying banks interest on the money the bank in loaning the Fed.  (by buying T-bills) the bank has no risk and no motivation to loan to small business.  Until these failed policies are changed we will remain right were we are… in a HUGE financial hole!

Well it is interesting you bring up the subject of immigration.  Since a number of states are performing their own experiments by inacting draconian immigration legislation.  When the state of Georgia decided that all employers were required to use the National E-verify system as a condition for employment. There were farmers who  had thousands of…[Read more]
