Obviously, engaging with fanatics not a winning strategy.
But I suppose neither is letting them get louder and stronger unopposed.

Yeah, but why keep supplying the wood for the fire. When extremist groups have no one to engage with they turn on each other and eat their own. Just think democratic debates.

In this case perhaps, there's a lot of people listening to them. Constant affirmation creating fact.
Think Beer Hall Putsch ??

Then came Mein Kampf.

Then they got to write, or tried to re-write, the rule book then we all know what happened after that.

When drones follow fanatics......

It's a no win situation.
If we engage, it gives them unwarranted legitimacy and encourages them.

If we ignore them as the uninformed useful idiots that they are, then it becomes a one sided debate with the Trolls and useful idiots framing the message to suit their own agendas. This unopposed propaganda gives the impressionable, undecided or even open minded public the false impression that farmers themselves don't, won't or can't refute the information that it must be true.

I'm of the opinion that the best way to deal with them might be to encourage them to continually become ever more preposterously extremist in their beliefs, projections, and policies. With a little push and a big boost to their egos, they will quickly cross the line of any rational person, and go full AOC destroying any credibility they or their organization or cause ever had.

AOC of course stands for Alexandria Occasional Cortex who has been a poster child for how effective this strategy works. One can only assume that her advisors are all paid by the republican party. She is the best gift the Democrats could heve ever given Trump.

Back to the crop report.........

It’ll be a while before bales get hauled outta this field.



Supposed to hit +30 today but the fog didn’t lift till noon and now it’s cloudy and still have a jacket on. Only got that warm for two days this year ......... once in April and July.

Oh sun where art thou?

It came here - will hit 30C this afternoon - with humidex "feels like" 36C ..ugh.
Had a reminder of "west of the 5th" weather the other day when it cooled off a lot one morning. Cows were sitting about contentedly versus the norm here of being bunched up, too hot and eaten by bugs all day through July/August.
Different areas - different issues. The optimum temperature for corn is 30C so at least it's happy here. Went from below knee high to 7' in places in the last month.

I don't mind it - we have air conditioning - tough on livestock though. I think they prefer -30C.

Not the way I wanted to end the 2019 crop but the heat and basically spit rain have moved the crop along. It's catching up but again the ratings will start to drop this week coming up as reports from the farm say it could use a drink. Its exhibition week the most important week for rain for a Canadian crop. It brings it in It also makes nice plump fat kernels.

Oh well, 2020 is more than trump winning again. It's a new start for a crop to get off to a better start than 2019 and then try to catch up.
