Pork better than Viagara? Argentina's President swears by it.

Argentina President Cristina Fernandez gave pork a hell of a plug, saying she knows from personal experience that the other white meat greatly enhances sexual activity, the Associated Press reported.

"I didn't know that eating pork improved sexual activity," Fernandez said in a meeting with representatives of the swine industry late Wednesday. "It is much more gratifying to eat some grilled pork than to take Viagra."

Okay this is no secret to me and is scientifically based. Link here to read my column last summer on the benefit to pork consumption to your sex life and overall blood health.

“Nitric oxide or nitric oxcide was known for many years as a toxic air pollutant expelled from car exhaust. You can imagine the impact of the story when it was discovered that such a gaseous molecule is produced in our body. Even more remarkable is the fact that such a gas is produced within our body to serve as a signal for cell to cell communication or for the transduction of nerve impulses,” said Ignarro. Nitric oxcide regulates blood pressure, causes penile erection, and controls the action of almost every cell in our body, he said. The human immune system also uses nitric oxide in fighting viral, bacterial and parasitic infections, and tumors.

Wisconsin DNR allows major dairy expansion

Rosendale Dairy in Fond du Lac County wants to double in size, from 4,000 cows to 8,000 cows, which would make it the largest dairy operation in the state.

Neighbors and environmentalists have expressed fear that manure will harm groundwater supplies.

The DNR says language in the farm's water-protection permit is stronger than state law requires.

Nobody has worked harder at doing the right thing in producing America's Food supply than the individuals with Rosendale Dairy congratulations.....Trent

I spent this past weekend with the Utah Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers in Bryce Canyon UT. The three feet of snow that arrived just before the start of the meeting, the closed roads did not deter this group of committed farmers and ranchers from showing up 200 people in fact and it was an awesome meeting. This photo is the track hoe and how the parking lot of Ruby's Inn was cleared for our arrival. More about the meeting later.
