My cousins husband was on a family farm, large one, for 20+ years and 30 years ago he said their budgeted poison (cabbage) was $30K a year!!
I won t mention my age but will say 'the good ole days are a thing of the past' fellas !
Growing up in Northern NV I remember driving the 2 lane highways are running over 15-20 rabbits in 40-50 miles while NOT trying to hit them! Bias ply tires in those days could be flattened with a rabbit bone.
Yea, it has changed, for the worse. Less targets, less land to hunt.
Been a long time since there has been that many rabbits on the roads.
They kinda disappeared along with cars that had dimmer switches on the floor, and day time,night time speed limit signs.
Just how old are you? Just kidding and ribbing ya a little.
