@cjschlaudy I'm not missing milking in a stanchion barn on days like this. Too hot for man or beast!

[Brant Bigger 🇺🇸 @Biggs1320]

@NDAWNmesonet Thanks! Those maps are helpful. Would it be possible to add additional depths? Similar to what's in the tables I originally asked about? 8-20" and 20-40" are pretty broad ranges.

[Brant Bigger 🇺🇸 @Biggs1320]

Hey @NDAWNmesonet, I frequently browse the frost depths across a variety of locations at https://t.co/ugcJfLh2Ax. Is it possible to lock the soil depths at the top of the page in table view so its easier to keep track of the depth for each column in the table?

I'm happy to provide septic design and inspection services!

Attention Becker County Residents! Here's an option to help fund replacement septic systems.

I’m a chemist. I need to say this - because it’s getting dangerous out there. The biggest health myth in the world isn’t about vaccines.

Or GMOs. Or fluoride.

It’s the root of all of them.
It’s called chemophobia - and it’s killing science.

Fear of “chemicals” now drives vaccine rejection, GMO bans, food hysteria, and entire political movements.

From tampons to tap water, people have been taught to fear chemistry - the very thing that keeps us alive.

Chemophobia tells us:
“Natural is good.”
“Synthetic is bad.”

That’s a lie.

Botulinum toxin is 100% natural and one of the deadliest molecules known.

Aspirin is synthetic and life-saving.

We’ve gone from banning harmful substances for good reason…to banning safe, well-tested molecules for emotional reasons.

You’ve seen the slogans:

“If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.”
“Paraben-free.”
“Clean beauty.”

They sound empowering. But they’re not science - they’re marketing.

And they’re making the world dumber, poorer, and sicker.

Your body doesn’t care if a molecule comes from a plant or a lab.
Vitamin C is vitamin C.

Formaldehyde is formaldehyde and your body makes more of it every day than any vaccine ever could.

Dose matters. Source doesn’t.
This fear isn’t harmless.

It shapes public policy.
It blocks innovation.
It raises food prices.
It slows down cancer treatments.

Chemophobia is now mainstream and it’s costing lives.

Scientists aren’t losing because we’re wrong. We’re losing because fear spreads faster than facts.

Because influencers sell fear for clicks. Because lawyers monetize doubt.

And because scientists are too tired to fight back. So here’s my message, as a chemist and as a citizen:

Learn how toxicology works.
Call out chemical fear-mongering.
Support policies based on evidence, not emotion.

Chemistry isn’t the enemy.
It’s the reason you have clean water, safe food, and modern medicine.

If we let fear win, we lose all of it.

We're patiently waiting for the snow to melt and the ground to thaw so we can start our 2026 projects. Reach out to us now to get on our list!

It's been a productive conference with a lot of knowledge shared and relationships rekindled. We're fired for spring to arrive so we can start doing onsite work!

This isn't what I wanted to deal with at 10:30 last night with temperatures in the negative teens below zero. Thankfully he cooperated & I was able to tube him with assistance from my 15 year old daughter. (She's the one that noticed he was bloated.)

@cjschlaudy This is what I have in my notes from when my kids showed dairy steers.
"By increasing the corn early, you are dropping the protein. So they won't get so tall, thus finishing at a little lower weight. 13-14 instead of 15-1600"
Check with Brian Schermerhorn @ Leaf River in Blufton.

@cjschlaudy No thanks. That was the work of real men. I'm too soft.

[Brant Bigger 🇺🇸 @Biggs1320]

@cjschlaudy Or maybe they had a steam shovel or two. Either way it was a lot of work!

[Brant Bigger 🇺🇸 @Biggs1320]

@cjschlaudy Imagine the work it took to make that railroad cut using only these & horses/mules

"This is simply theater. The only real bipartisan consensus is to lie to your base well enough to keep the machine running. Feed the outrage. Fan the tribal flames. Keep the voters fighting each other..."
