Save the peat. The Scottish use it for roasting the grains for scotch. Without it, we don't get any scotch.

But, as with so many other use-it-once-and-it's-gone natural resources, it is being consumed vastly faster than it is being made, in fact, there's hardly any new peat being made, only stuff deposited long ago that is still "ripening."

How about a Montana ranch? K-1 II and Irix 11.

A nice little MO hills farm. This one is located on the inside of an oxbow in the river, I am on the bluff side, hence the nice vantage point.

Another view of the same farm showing the riverfront nature of the property.

K-1 + Voigtlander Ultron 40/2

Went to get ice cream and beef today. Not sure if these guys/gals would be contributing to the meat or dairy component of the farm!
