By the way in the region of dairy farms in Germany where I grew up there are no silos. The feed is stored, and made into silage, under large plastic wraps weighed down by worn-out tires.Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-410200289561914412011-02-01T09:51:39.412-05:002011-02-01T09:51:39.412-05:00You reckon that the globe as a whole is robust eno...You reckon that the globe as a whole is robust enough to withstand what we are doing to it? I wish I could share your optimism. After 20-odd years on a UK sheep farm, run beautifully and with great care for the environment, I am watching it disintegrate not through lack of care and determination, but through red tape. It is breaking my heart and possibly colouring my judgement.<br /><br />And then of course, there is the genuine threat of the UK losing its age-old forests. Any day now our (Conservative??)government will take the right to repeal the laws that protected them for five hundred years or more and give itself the right to sell them off. It doesn't bear thinking about. Can you imagine the Appalachian Trail, or Yellowstone Park being sold to Chinese or Russian investors to do with as they see fit? It is making me shiver. <br />Please feel free to take our comments exchange off. It might spoil the mood :-)<br />Your writing style is exquisite and to the point. Very impressive and in need of a wider audience.jocohttp://duck-or-grouse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-3274642891902191562011-02-01T09:36:27.803-05:002011-02-01T09:36:27.803-05:00That's a pretty cool silo in the 3rd pic &...That's a pretty cool silo in the 3rd pic & that BIG red barn is awesome!

I don't think your missing a thing....Joco,<br /> I don't think your missing a thing. Your analysis is spot on. These things are difficult to write about because the historical perspective needed to perceive the "Big Lie" can hardly be expressed in a hundred words or less. It's a lot to expect of a reader who came looking for pretty barn pictures to wade through abstract ideas. I struggle to express cogently and concisely these issues. However, I don't share your depression. Human existence on this planet is a relatively recent experiment and I trust our societies will evolve to accommodate our species in some sort of unified, low impact lifestyle. It could happen!Springmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094132506583563094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-82144896367700023452011-02-01T07:32:23.177-05:002011-02-01T07:32:23.177-05:00People seem uplifted by this, when it sends me int...People seem uplifted by this, when it sends me into a deeper depression. What am I missing?<br />When I see what is happening to UK farming, I could write something very similar. We now seem to be living in a mouldering themepark which is socially, morally and economically bankrupt. The head-to-head may not be quite as acute as the one you describe from the middle of the 20th century, but it is leaving the same residue of discord and despair.jocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08443120495036936430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-10156721979790486602011-02-01T06:26:49.962-05:002011-02-01T06:26:49.962-05:00Fantastic photos and I appreciate the history less...Fantastic photos and I appreciate the history lesson too!MarieElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07723480613016712362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-27780988969799254162011-01-31T23:01:50.358-05:002011-01-31T23:01:50.358-05:00Great info and photos.
