I looked that up and seems to be what you have. We don't have many pecan trees this far north.but I do have 1 in my yard. I'm always watching for pests and diseases on it. The only bug I found was the pecan spittlebug and from what I read they weren't really a concernI think I found it... I was thinking galls and googled brown galls on pecan leaves and this came up:
Pecan Phylloxera
Is that what they are?
Interesting, where do you think we would be without agriculture, forestry, mining, and manufacturing?
I assume you have rural water there then. We do not have that on the Illinois side of the river where I am. They may elsewhere. I know I owned some ground years ago in southeast Iowa that was part of the Lake Rathbun rural water system. It seemed like a very odd concept at the time but I am sure it has it's advantages with one major one being lower iron content. I just could not see how it would be cost effective to run all those lines hundreds of miles up and down hills and ravines
We have very few in this area. I am in northern Illinois but I think in southern Illinois they have them. What a lot of folks do not realize is how deep of a state Illinois is and how vastly different the agriculture and industry is from top to bottom. Heck in the far tip there are some that grow cotton and rice. Up where I am there ZERO chance of that. Our soil temp did not even get decent for corn until early may this year but this was far from a normal year
I believe I remember you making a reference to putting a "Golden Girls" hex on corn, that seems a bit anti -agriculture
I am not familiar with that variety.Not all corn.
Just Frankencorn.
Well rural water is just that rural water, it is water delivered to rural areas that are not serviced by city systems. Although to most they do not see a difference but there is. Not that it matters as they both provide you water and that is what is important. Here is where I draw a distinction. You said that "city water" is available to all that want it. So is your water from a city or a rural water association? If a municipal system is providing you water in most cases they are also providing you sewer service. Do you have municipal sewer service at your location?
So I assume you are opposed to foods containing ingredients from GMO crops? I hope you do not drink any Coca Cola products or Powerade
It all works essentially the same way. The billing is where things get extremely complicated. Back in 2003 I was working in a factory during the summer before I had to go back to teaching. A guy there said he had to sell his mother's house to settle the estate. He threw out a dollar number that sounded fair to me so I went and took a look. The house was tough but had good potential as a rental. We were looking for more rental homes so we bought it . We worked on it off and on as I was teaching fulltime and my beautiful wife was home with our three sons not yet in school. It sat for about two years as we worked on it. During that time the "city" water system kept wanting to bill us for a large usage of water that was not occurring. I would use the "facilities"when I was there and my wife would use a bit of water to clean but that was it. They had a policy of doubling the minimum water usage for sewer as they had no way to monitor sewage usage. I had no issue with that but I used a very small amount of water and they wanted to bill me with a lot. I ended up just telling them to shut the water off as I was sick of them billing me for what I did not use. Now of course they have no way of shutting off the sewer so I just took 5 gallon buckets of water with me to flush the toilet.
I am not going to get into a huge debate on the safety of GMO's. I do have to say I get a chuckle out of the number of folks that get a e-coli infection from eating organic fruits and vegetables. They wonder why it happens............I just shake my head
There is no point as many folks cannot understand logic and science....cause and effect, action and reaction.........
The transmission of coliform bacteria isn't related to "organic" farming. Just poor sanitation methods.
Yes those are issues and I accept that, but the vast majority of e-coli bacteria has zero to do with sanitation on the production end. It is on the "rear end"
It is, They run off full speed ahead, half -cocked, balls to the wall blaming everyone and their brother for every little issue. They jump on the internet and read some gibberish that someone with the same mentality posted because the had an axe to grind and would not SLOW DOWN and listen and learn from those with real life experience and knowledge. Damm that Al Gore for inventing the internet............ It has made millions arm-chair experts
Yes without a doubt but that sure is not where ecoli comes from
Very sad news to report: the 2nd paulownia tree, behind the barn, the one that didn't appear to have been hit as hard as the one in front of the barn, it's suddenly throwing down leaves. Big ones, little ones, green ones, brown ones, and every combination. Pretty sure they weren't there a couple hours ago when I moved the hose to a tree a ways behind it. I saw them just now when I moved the hose again, closer to it.
Lots of branches completely void of leaves. Still hanging onto some.
I would be pissed! What happened with you reporter did he run a story?Looks like the yard has been hit with agent orange.
... oh, wait, it has.
That is funny
You are an expert............
