Received an email from the reporter after explaining why she can't be here Monday and asking her to not run the letter because I am afraid of how some might respond to it, what a huge can of worms it is, etc... I literally said I fear for my safety. But, I said she was more than welcome to come...

Just got off the phone with my inspector. He said if the reporter is coming, he won't be there. DoA rules. I told him I understand completely, the post office has the same rule about talking to media, and that's why I wanted to ask him first. I told him I'll tell her the deal is off. I think I'm...

I explored this possibility two years ago and found contradicting answers about watering. Supposedly, if you can rinse the contaminated plants ASAP, like within the hour, it might help. Past that time and watering could make the problem worse. When the local Ag agent suggested it, I bought...

Idk how a farmer goes about deciding how to farm, I'm pretty sure the government and it's regulations has a lot to do with it. But, knowing the extent of the damage caused by 24-D LV6, and using it anyway, does seem to be a stupid thing to do. On the brighter side, driving just over the county...

I asked the reporter what she thought of the idea. She suggested to wait and see what the reaction to the newspaper articles are and then go from there. I think that's a good idea. I'm also going to ask her to hold off on printing any article she plans on writing until we get the results back...

So far, fingers crossed, looks like everything is maintaining status quo and I'm not seeing any noticeable decline, after initial symptoms, like I did the past two years. Not going to do the happy dance just yet, but I want to. :popcorn2: That's not to say everything is looking good. The leaves...

They should have called it the Hydra tree.

Whatever you do -DO NOT PLANT A Paulownia tree in your yard!!! I planted two about 15-20 years ago, because they are a beautiful tree, have huge leaves, and aromatic clusters of purple flowers. They also can produce huge clusters of sticky seed pods. I had one cut down two years ago and the...

Finally after fighting with the bot for about 15 minutes I was able to get a working email address. Sent them a nice long letter. :yes: We'll see if I get a reply.

WoW. :surprised3:Is this serendipity, or what? :oops: My newspaper reporter emailed me back asking me if I knew about ISHA... said they gave a talk today to the Rotary Club "about just this." Apparently, they have a global project called Save Soil, which includes soil conservation and...

:surprised3: That's a scary thought. I don't want to be on tv - bad enough having my name in the newspaper. All kinds of crazies might come after me then... G0d knows there's plenty of them here giving it their best shot! :dizzy:

Good news, I think. This morning, I came across a letter to the editor I wrote two years ago, but never sent. I sent it to the woman from the newspaper this morning and she said her editor thinks it will make a great article to run - On Earth Day!! I'm also having copies of that letter and some...

Yes, it is a huge dilemma, for me. You ever hear/see that Serenity Prayer? "G0d grant me the courage to change the things I can, accept the things I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference." That was my mothers mantra after my dad died and she had to move here. I hated that saying.. but now...

Where to? You wouldn't fight for the land you've worked so hard to cultivate? I seriously considered this last year when I saw it happening again. I searched high and low for a 2-5 acre wooded lot. I searched real estate listing all over the state. What I found is that land in the woods is being...

You know... when I typed this last night, I believe it was the first time I seriously realized this is going to be an annual event for the rest of my life. Up until yesterday, I've been thinking it was just a single freak accident, and that it wouldn't happen again and that whatever survived...

@David Ellis I have two questions for you, if you don't mind: 1. Are you a crop farmer? 2. If not a farmer, what is your line of work?

After taking a few hours to recharge and regroup, I've decided to reply to your questions. The above questions are irrelevant to the issue of chemical trespass and the damage being caused to all the trees, plants, and vegetation on my property, my neighbors property, throughout the county, and...

I think you remind me of someone who was recently banned.

We have clay soil here and there have been many ponds in the area that have been here a long time, that are no longer here. I know the ones in the fields near me have been there at least thirty years, up until about five years ago when they were filled in for crop farming. The one to the south...
