Soil Consulting and Crop Consulting in Illinois. You may call it soil testing, soil sampling, or soil health management, but it is more than that. These are my daily or weekly travels in soil and crop consulting and my observations in the agricultural world.

How about some Jersey Cows?
The recent announcement that the FDA plans to ban trans fats got me to thinking. Is this a good time to follow in my Grandpa' s footsteps and get into the Jersey Cow business? Jersey's are known for the high butter fat content of their milk. With Trans fats to be phased out, butter is a logical substitute. One of the things I have done to soften my butter and reduce the saturated fat is to mix it with canola oil. Just soften a stick of butter in a bowl and add a half cup of oil. I suppose any mild edible oil would do. Whip it with an electric mixer for about a minute and pour into a plastic container. It makes a very tasty spread. You can also buy this margarine substitute in the store if you don't want to make it yourself . Ironic talking about butter as a margarine substitute isn't it.
