Why we need the heavy, sour oil: https://www.afpm.org/newsroom/blog/whats-difference-between-heavy-and-light-crude-oils-and-why-do-american-refineries

Oil isn't oil. Different types of oils are needed for different purposes. And, different plants are setup to refine the diffent types. Venezuela still owes some of these American companies billions of dollars from when they were thrown out. Executives from a few of these companies just recently...

It would be nice for the Texas and Louisiana refineries that can use this type of oil to bring these across the gulf. The tanker, Skipper, that we took is in Galveston bay right now. What else is there, is one of the largest coking units for refining that type of oil.

Isn't the demand for this type of oil used for making asphalt and diesel high?

We got "samples" of the oil from Venezuela by taking a couple tankers for free. Sent it a couple companies to make sure our refining capabilities are still right for sour, heavy oil. Turns out, we're still setup great to handle it. They said, we'll take all we can get. Trump said, here, hold my...

Who's buying Chevron? 😁

You can have great soils and not produce great antlers. You can also have great antlers without great soil. If I had the choice, I'd take the great soils because they're capable of producing great food for great antlers. But, I'd want the whole area to be producing great food so the generations...

No doubt.

And, you can ruin the antler potential in good soil areas by changing the food produced there. There were some areas by me that used to be crops and oaks. They converted to pines, and the antlers took a nose dive because of the food.

Yeah. I've seen some giants come out of there. I still have an eye out for property in the Louisiana delta side.

I didn't pay attention to the part where it was 30 minutes from where I live. I don't really live in an area with farmland, but there is some with sugarcane. There's one place for sale like that, but it might be a little further. It's listed at $40k per acre. If there's that much woods, it's...

The snags provide great habitat for some wildlife. Another reason is, if you wanted to kill a bunch of trees in an area without putting too much clutter on the ground. They'll die slowly over time, and come down in smaller pieces.

F then C depending on the surrounding area. If these 2 areas are being cropped, it means the areas around them probably are too. If that's the case, then the deer in the areas surrounding those two places have grown up on generations of high quality food (assuming corn/beans). It's easy to make...

Well, that didn't last long. It shows pending sale now. The last time it was for sale, no pics, sat for a year at least.

Me too. I think it must have something to do with the rifle season lengths possibly? I don't know. I've seen the same thing with fields though. I've hunted near crop fields in Louisiana where you wouldn't hardly ever see deer out in them, even during the summer. It has to do something with...
