Crying chicken (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With all of the cross breeding in animals as people try to “improve” the basics, it’s fascinating to see how they end up. There are the miniature cattle and pigs, which some individuals consider to be household boarders. Some wear diapers for easy clean up. I’ve not heard at what age these creatures are banished to the barn out behind the house, but there must be an age when that occurs. As I was pondering about some of the mixes, the word snickerdoodle came to mind. No, that is a cookie. I gues

As an ag producer, the idea of data centers taking up productive agricultural land to construct monstrous buildings makes me wonder who is going to feed the people if the land is out of production.
