When we installed the solar panels a couple winters back, I had done much of the busy work myself, including the trenching. When I installed the conduit for the solar panel wires running up to the barn (and then across the road and up to the house), I also installed conduit with an electric cable and a LAN cable. I expected to add additional cameras out in the fields. As it turned out, that was a great idea! Our satellite connection was often down to dial-up speeds, and even when working well was usually only one or two Meg. I was guessing that trees were beginning to block the dish, but our satellite provider (Hughes) said it was clear. With internet service often unusable, I ordered one of the Starlink satellite systems. It requires a VERY large clear area. The only possibility was out in the field by the creek, maybe 600 feet from the house. But with the LAN line and electric cable already in place, I built a few connection boxes and hooked it up.
You can see the dish, temporarily placed on top of a blue barrel in these pics. The difference was night and day! We are often getting speeds closer to 100M than 1M. In addition, with their satellites much closer than Hughes, our latency went WAY down, and we can actually make phone calls over the new system! You may recall, we have no land lines and no cell service this far out, so this is a big deal for us.

Back in early July, we had schools of new baby bass that we propagated in the outdoor trough. We had removed the adult fish and were keeping the fry in the trough for the time being. However, the number of fry seemed to keep diminishing ... and pretty quickly. There were no signs of other critters (like racoons or herons) getting into the hoop house. Eventually it seemed most of the fry were gone, but I set minnow traps to try to capture some that may be left. It turned out that I found several larger sunfish that were still in the trough from last year. I had assumed, if there were any sunfish left, the adult bass would have eaten them. Apparently not all, so I'm now guessing the couple larger sunfish ate all of the fry. I managed to salvage just a single baby bass. Pretty sad.

Find out about: America's (now the World's) Favorite Poison By Far!


“In order to save glyphosate, the Monsanto corporation has undertaken an effort to destroy the United Nations’ cancer agency by any means possible.”[10]

... " just four companies — Bayer, Corteva (formerly DowDuPont), BASF and Syngenta/ChemChina — controlled 75 percent of plant breeding research, 60 percent of the commercial seed market, and 76 percent of global agrichemical sales in 2019."[78]



Just gotta' LOVE glyphosate, right?????

Yes, the second link is old news, but not forgotten and more importantly, as the first link shows, not remedied:

Song by Mike Adams, with spoken lines from Jeffrey Smith

I’m lookin at the food that’s in the grocery store
They say it’s safe, everybody eat more.
On second thought, I don’t really know if it’s made with those GMOs

So I’m lookin for the non-GMO label ‘fore I bring it home and put it on my table
I wanna know it’s verified so I don’t
Harm myself with genetically modified

Uh-Oh
They don’t want you to know
All the poison they grow
The corporate profits they show from those GMO OH

Those Frankenseeds that they sow
They’re gonna hurt us we know
It’s time we told ‘em to go, say GMO NO!

I don’t want eat poison, I don’t want gene mutations at my dinner reservations
it’s a food abomination what they doin’ to this fast food nation
They take artificial gene combinations
inject them in seed variations
so they can grow their Frankenfood imitations
while the side effects cause medical patients

Keep their profits alive while they
spraying all the food with name brand herbicides
and all the while they’re spreadin’ their lies
Monsanto (Bayer now!) destroyin’ farmers lives
and the FDA keeps it all going
saying it’s safe even though they all know it’s just
poison stealing away your life, and that’s what you eat with genetically modified.

GMO safety huh that’s a corporate myth
if you don’t believe me listen to Jeffery Smith
He’s the man with plan gonna do what he can
To help us all get those GMOs banned
But we need you to lend a hand
take a stand against this food scam
It’s a mission for the health condition worldwide
We don’t wanna live genetically modified

Don’t eat food unless you know what’s in it
Don’t believe the propaganda cuz the press will spin it
Affects everybody, we all up in it
Stand up to Monsanto (Bayer now!), tell ‘em oh no you didn’t

Reject Frankenfoods in the store
demand honest labels so we can be informed
We have a natural right to know
What we buyin’ Just say no to GMO

Before our farms start dyin’
Just say no to GMO

Those corporate crooks are lyin’
Just say no to GMO

This time we’re not complyin’
Just say no to GMO

We’re just not buyin’ it
Just say no to GMO
