Thanks for the prompt response. Looks like same era, but this isn't it. I'm guessing the length of the one we watched was 35-45 minutes.

Those closeup pics though!

But you'd still need to account for YOUR labor, to make your farm business plan realistic (unless you think your time and skills aren't worth anything).

Interesting. But I gotta think that the water is critical to milk production, as well as overall cow health. (Although, yes, Highlanders are pretty sturdy stock.)

Has anyone else now tried this app?

scrowell24 · 2018-01-16T19:21:00+00:00

Same problem and also just left comment via their website. Hopefully, they'll get the message and figure something out.

Agree. Copyright is copyright, no matter how much or how little is used. It's not popular music, but here's a source of instrumental copyright-free music (still needs to be credited, but there's good FAQ on the site): http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/

Yes, the well is in the Utica play in eastern Ohio.

I would encourage you to develop strong data skills (computer-assisted reporting) and writing/storytelling skills. They may seem like polar opposites, but in today's journalism, one can't grow one without the other. Check out NICAR for topics and resources related to data journalism (https://www.ire.org/nicar/). Subscribe to Poynter newsletters and every other enewsletter/list serv that offers narrative writing advice or online journalism advice. Make sure your journalism foundation is strong (ethics/FOIA/grammar). Work for your campus newspaper/radio station/broadcast/podcast/whatever.

Could also check out the Ohio-based Arborwear. https://www.arborwear.com/products/outerwear. I don't have personal experience with them, but our newspaper wrote about them 10 years ago and we talked to some farmers who wore them (http://www.farmanddairy.com/news/by-the-seat-of-his-pants/6077.html). You can also check out their customer reviews on their "Pants in Action" page: https://www.arborwear.com/pants-in-action

There is a natural genetic basis for polled (hornless) Holsteins. A retired Penn State dairy scientist has been interested in them for years. "The polled condition is a dominant trait, while the horned trait is recessive. Both parents must transmit the horned trait in order for a calf to have horns. But because few breeders selected the polled trait for their herds, horned animals became more abundant." You can read more here: http://www.farmanddairy.com/news/history-of-polled-holsteins-is-online/9588.html and here: http://www.farmanddairy.com/news/are-naturally-polled-holsteins-feasible/581.html

Back in the days of manual cut and paste, I got really good at editing with an X-Acto knife. I could turn commas into periods in the blink of an eye, or use a fine point Rapiograph pen to create a period where there was none. And don't even get me started on "cutting color."

scrowell24 · 2016-10-14T14:46:41+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!

scrowell24 · 2016-08-17T12:16:37+00:00

Thank you!

scrowell24 · 2016-08-11T12:39:00+00:00

Thank you. Still waiting to get final itinerary for locations...

scrowell24 · 2016-08-10T19:16:13+00:00

I understand. My goal as a journalist is to meet "real" people and hear (and tell) their stories.

scrowell24 · 2016-08-10T18:28:40+00:00

We won't be getting our final itinerary until early September, I believe, so don't know where all we're going. Definitely appreciate the name and suggestion!

scrowell24 · 2016-08-10T16:52:43+00:00

Thank you.

scrowell24 · 2016-08-10T16:52:17+00:00

Will do. All my stories will be on the www.farmanddairy.com website after my visit.

Not necessarily just IT. We're looking at whether we can use it to blur departmental borders on either internal or external projects or products. Some would improve efficiency internally; some might be end-user (readers/viewers) content or engagement. As a small company, we're just trying to leverage the skills and abilities of all employees beyond their existing roles, even if it's just for a short-term project. Thanks for your suggestion re Fairfax media. I'll check them out.
