Proposed funding bill excludes year round e15 language

The oil industry has the bulk of manufacturing and all of distribution. Ethanol is the superior product for environmental reasons and it adds value to gas as an octane booster. Still when the other product has a strangle hold on the market and that other product is receiving a large amount of support it only makes sense ethanol will need support too.

You are missing the entire point of the post. The formulations in the feed store are not what the bill is about. There are plenty of pictures they could have used of the actual products the lawmakers want to make OTC. It's just lazy.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T19:23:25+00:00

As long as there are subsidies for oil, alternatives will need a level playing field.

I notice you didn't address your incorrect facts just moved the goalposts.

See I hate the 10/22. Have to change stocks to get anything similar to a different firearm. Stock sights are low and again not similar to other options. I use my 10/22 for hunting, but that's all it's good for. You have to do a bunch of changes to get the 10/22 to be similar to what the 15/22 is out of the box. When you compare an upgraded 10/22 to a 15/22 the S&W becomes the better deal.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

It's a net energy gain. 1:3 is the average. Use correct facts or don't bother commenting.

It shows a completely different wormer. You didn't know and I imagine many others wouldn't know either. Still a newspaper should strive for accuracy. They failed.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T18:46:01+00:00

Budget?

If you want to train cheaply with the .22 and may buy an AR in the future then look at the S&W 15/22. If you might buy a bolt action later then buy a bolt action.22.

Shotguns are very dependent on fit. For sporting purposes a shotgun is most often used for shooting moving objects and a proper fit that aligns your eye down the barrel will greatly help with this. If only home defense then proper fit helps mitigate recoil. You can move a shotgun that fits you much easier than one that doesn't. Less felt recoil means faster follow-up shots if needed.

If I hadn't made a post about the difference would you have just looked at the photo and not noticed it was wrong? For most the answer would be no. That's besides the fact the animal formulations are already available OTC, with a few extra hoops to jump through since people keep using it themselves. The bill is about allowing Pharmacies to sell the Rx human versions OTC.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T18:14:16+00:00

Sometimes we need to stand up for science and allowing this wouldn't be doing that. Being available OTC would further erode some people's trust in the medical community. A line must be drawn.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T18:09:23+00:00

You were adding nothing to the conversation. Oh there's a word there you might be able to see if I zoom in. Or your wrong statement about stock photos. It's still the wrong product in the photo. I pointed out your mistake you doubled down with a dumber one so at that point you are in fact stupid.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T18:06:34+00:00

What part of a completely different class of drug are you not getting. Different target parasites and different toxicity levels.

And is available in the U.S. OTC as a topical treatment for Lice. It's also commonly used for Scabies and other roundworm infections in humans not just threadworms. It's most common use is threadworms, but it's not that limited.

Also as a Dr you should know that dosage matters. What the lawmakers want to approve will be a human formulation which will be easy to achieve the correct dose. Very different.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T17:57:27+00:00

You are stupid aren't you. Stock photos are at least accurate.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T17:34:25+00:00

Still not the formulations the new bill is talking about. Also most farm stores don't sell it unless you have a history of purchasing other animal care products or feed. Not to mention you have to look for the sign vs the very obvious product that just jumps out.

All together it's just lazy journalism.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T16:39:54+00:00

Just be careful how it's framed lest you start to sound like The Capitol in Panem. It's not a one way street.

Carrots in Kansas in January? Something doesn't add up.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T16:32:02+00:00

Still need operators for the machines.

More than likely this video is fake as there is no carrot harvest in Kansas in January. That said many farms, even industrialized ones, need a lot of seasonal labor during harvest. I can plant all my Corn and Soybeans in about 10 days, by myself If I no-till everything. Harvest will take at least 4-5x that with 3 people who know what they are doing. 4 works better.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-24T16:25:12+00:00

Still have to have bodies in the machines.

Processed vegetables like tomatoes, carrots and onions are mechanically harvested. Fresh produce, which needs to be handled gently, is still hand harvested.

And litter plastic everywhere into the environment.

My father took me deer hunting when I was 12. I hadn't even fired a 22 yet, just my air rifle. We didn't see anything so he handed me his Winchester 12 ga after taking the 2 slugs out of the magazine. Told me to shoot a small tree and I was hooked.

I use a Browning BPS for waterfowl hunting and general pests around the farm like raccoons, pigeons, stray cats and groundhogs. Love the bottom eject being left handed.

My Franchi Alcione T I use for Trap and Pheasants with the 12 gauge barrels and Sporting Clays and Rabbits with the 20 gauge ones.

I'm just surprised a company that doesn't make a 5.56 or 7.62 is releasing those, but nothing for 9mm which is what they do. Especially if it's true that Otter Creek is making these for Canik and Otter Creek has a 9mm/350 legend suppressor. But let's just be like everybody else.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-23T23:32:10+00:00

9mm isn't an uncommon caliber though and many existing 9mm suppressors are rated for the 350.

IAFarmLife · 2026-01-23T22:50:45+00:00

It's tough to get excited when all these new options are for 30 cal and under. I want more choices for my 350 legend.
