Is corn really food? I mean, doesn't it have to get digested to be called food?

Thank you! I was starting to feel like a mutant freakshow around FR. Conservation and preservation were always conservative values... until recent years when things became so partisan, but it shouldn't have to be that way.

You are right, of course; however burning has historically been a tool of successful land management. Judging from your name, I'll bet you had a great time smelling the leaves and grass as they burned, and realizing as well that weed seeds were being destroyed as well.

The reactionary criticism of anything 'green' bugs me but there are more and more conservatives taking back conservation. Those liberals hijackers!

ok this is how has been added to the list... am I missing anyone?

Hey buddy....I'm still waiting for my smoked salmon.

We canned a 25# tuna last week and have one more in the freezer...

After grass seed was harvested from thousands of acres between Salem and Portland they were regularly burned off for decades. The enviros only allow a few hundred acres to be burnt now and then, as far as I know.

Love your Freeper name. I'm assuming you're familiar with the book by Victor Thomas Salupo?

Oops! You spell it differently. "Chantecler" is the book I'm referring to.

"Chanticleer" is a singing group, non?

I have friends who grow grass seed in the Wyomette (sp?) Valley. I remember when they were fighting the efforts to stop them from burning off their fields.

You are kidding, aren't you? You surely don't want Granny to get out her recipe box, do you?
