A New Hope On the Dairy

I was on duty this morning watching The Farmer scraping the lots and hauling it all away. He calls it Waste Removal and Nutrient Management.  All of that manure will really improve the quality of his crop land, but watching him do it over and over is what I call monotonous. It did create a great opportunity for me to work on my screenplay,  A New Hope On The Dairy.

"A long time ago on a farm far, far away.." is how it starts.  My villain is the evil Darth Acre who wants to rule the galaxy by destroying all dairy farms and thus the supply of milk and calcium. Without it all the people's bones will get weak and he will easily crush them. A young dairyman, Luke Skymilker, works on a family farm with his aunt and uncle and their trusty robot milkers, Cheese-3PO and R2-Cheese-2.  When their farm becomes threatened he decides to join Rebel Farmers, a dairy cooperative made up of all sizes and types of farms, led by Leia Organic.

They would not be successful without the intervention of the local veterinarian, old Doc Kenobi, who teaches Luke how the calcium in milk builds strong bones. "Use the milk, Luke, to defeat Darth Acre," he tells the young dairyman.  Along the way a farm machinery dealer, Han Silo and his shaggy looking parts manager, Chew-baccer, join them in the fight.

May the milk be with you!

Going For the Gold

Fences make good neighbors.  Fences make good boundaries.  Fences are also fun to jump.  The Farmer may not agree with that.  Actually he's mostly complained and complained.  Sure sometimes a tree fell on the fence, but other times it was my fault as I began my training regimen.

In about 200 days the 2012 Cow-Olympics will begin in London.  This is not something to be taken lightly.  My mama cow was a world class high jumper and I intend to follow in her hoofsteps.

I am glad The Farmer feeds a well-balanced ration to us, but that is not enough. I have to train. I mean I have to train daily.   I have to practice my running and jumping as much as I can.  If that means The Farmer is going to have to rebuild fences every now and then when I miss, then so be it.  I'm going for the gold, ma, watch me go!

2011's Most Dogeared Reports

While I am always impressed by The Farmer's good records of calving dates, milk weights, etc; I am always disappointed in that his office looks like the epicenter of a terrible disaster.  As I've said before, cleanliness is next to boviness.  That is why it irritates me to know end when other agents come into my office and make a mess.  I had all of the 2011 reports filed away nicely and now several are all dogeared and crinkled up.  These must be the most read of the year.

I hope 2012 will be a much cleaner and neater year if only in my office.
