Year 5 of farming and year 2 of farming on my own. I farm with a bunch of antiques compared to most. But it works for me. My farms were all corn on corn this year, with the drought and hail storms yields were down compared to last year. But pretty thankful I has the crop I had. Best farm made...

To me it's become a competition on who can put the biggest antlers or their wall, and who's the "best" hunter. Everyone trying to prove something that I'm better than the next guy. I come from a long line of hunters, my grandpas Dad and his dad before him were all better hunters than I. I have...

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought object's entering US airspace,(like this balloon) would be shot down in minutes. It seems someone, or some country is pushing buttons to see where their limitations are.
