We give away about 1.5% of our income to elev companies, they call it dockage, we pay to deliver it to them. clean it out and transport it to port. then they sell it for big profit both locally and export. Al hidden in price and basis.

They also tell us how much they are going to take, they and the Gov't admit to taking more than they should.

Would by product like corn husks, have a higher value as fuel than feed?

Pour farmer, we hoard every book we can get our hands on related to invention, especially prairie genre. The most recent acquisition is "Versatile Tractors" by Jarrod Pakosh, a history of Peter and Emil Pakosh. My ancestors say that their original farm is near Mikado. From humble beginnings, great inventions are dreamed up. We bought one of the first Versatile 750's and my dad knew Pakosh well. Isn't it too bad that we can't preserve the power of the great minds that shaped our world?

Thanks I will have to keep an eye out for that one. I always thought Pakosh was from Winnipeg?
