Skeet I ain't saying replant ALL that which is laying fallow. Far from it. I do understand what that coudl do to the farmers. I am saying don't completely abandone a grain crop when there IS land to be planted to keep the price steady. IE if barley is going through the roof because of less planting then plant barley in some fallow fields to keep the price steady. As for wild game when I was a kid we used a little ol system called crop rotation. IE ya don't blast an plow the same hunk of ground every danged year. That way you keep your wild game, AND you keep your soil producing. Who woulda thunk such an OLD idear would still be apllicable. Certainly not these college edumacated yo-yos that tell ya to plow it all under and pour a ton of fertillizer on top.

Yeah I am about as deep as a mudpuddle most of the time. Ya get me on farmin an agriculture though an yer on a old deep well here. Most of my military family were farmers and ranchers growing up. Thats why we hunted and fished so much.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
