We cannot drill our way out of this oil crisis. Since 2000, oil companies working in the U.S. have doubled the number of wells drilled per year.
Although increased drilling has added new oil to the nation's supply, it has not done so fast enough to offset the terminal decline of existing fields.
We are going to have to import more of our oil. Period.

Good day, from Pheba from the farm:
Two years ago my husband and I attended the True/False film festival in Columbia, Missouri. We usually attend every year. The festival shows about 60 films covering any subject you can imagine.
We saw about 6 films, and our favorite was "The Real Dirt on Farmer John". My husband could truly identify with Farmer John. Just like Farmer John my husband also checks his weather radio the very first thing when he climbs out of bed in the morning.
We could really identify with Farmer John.
I highly reccomend this film. If anything could save us in agriculture it is farmers who think like Farmer John.
I will say no more about the film. I don't want to spoil your pleasure in viewing it. If you are interested in farming you must see this film.
I am posting this because I just purchased the DVD. The DVD was made available today after waiting for almost two years.
You can go to a web site called Angelic Organics. I do not know the exact address, but you should be able to Google to it. The DVD is 13.95 and I spent 7.00 in shipping.

"Farmer John" has been a member of the CSA initiative in this area for quite awhile Phebagirl! He is from around Rockford, IL. as I am from Chicago, We've known about him for years. See, some "cool" stuff even happens in the Midwest!

Roger Ebert Review of the movie. I heard about this on NPR last year but haven't had a chance to check it out.
Seemed to remember that he was a crossdresser but Ebert clarifies this:
Quote:
He likes to dress strangely, in Dr. Seuss hats or bumblebee costumes. He is taken to dancing wildly in the fields. He is told his speech and body language make him appear to be homosexual, but there is persuasive evidence of heterosexuality in the series of girlfriends who keep him in "relationships" through the decades.
Pretty much your typical farmer. _________________ Cogito, ergo non satis bibivi
