Gov't throws in some good incentive for corn and soy, big help. It all goes
to the co-op out there, and then to whoever buys. this year he did 500 acres
out of the 200 he's got. It's up in the multi $1,000's though, more or less
than 10. And does other local work.

I've got my first project stained with it, and one coat of Waterlox over
the panels, inserted before I assembled it.
It went on well, somewhere between a dye stain and Minwhacks Wood Finish.
Where I needed to sand after staining, it took a second coat, without
messing up the color badly. None of the weeping problems that Minwax
suffers from. Dries pretty quickly, even in an unheated (SF Bay Area)
shop, overnight. (OK, so it's NOT Saskatoon)
This is on red oak, with some white oak veneer ply.
It is not a one-step finish, which the other product claims, to some
extent.
Samples were distributed at the woodworking show last weekend, and are
avilable at my local hardware store. In ketchup sized packages. Cheap or
free.
I think I'll use some more on the next project...

My neighbor here in Cali grows soybeans in Iowa, just harvested last month.
he'll take off and drive there, do the work, then visit relatives in Chicago and
drive back to Iowa, then drive back here to his home, all in a Chevy pick-up.
Priceless.

Sorry, that's 50 acres and a little less $.

Does he make enough $$$ off his beans to even
cover gas money? Farming doesn't produce a whole
lot of profit for such things.
