Many prospects of Green River.

Green River is well know for its watermelons and cantaloupe.  Apparently that is not enough.  There is a group trying to put in a nuclear plant near there.  They are looking into CO2 sequestration nearby.  There was even talk several years ago about an oil refinery at Green River.  The nuclear plant and CO2 sequestration I know were to be between Green River and Woodside.  Not so sure about the oil refinery.  There is much speculation here which I'm sure has spilled over a bit to Woodside.  Among all this speculation I am going back to the beginning.  Or even the future.  The beginning being growing cantaloupe.  The future growing berries.  I hope to be able to plant a variety of berries with the main berry being goji berries.  Goji berries are well known and may bring a higher profit.  These days more people are health conscious and I have several berries in mind to grow that are high in antioxidants.  

Logic of Woodside.

The logic of Woodside to me is about my dad's choice of location for property to farm.  Starting about 2005 I looked at real estate and  vacant land all over Utah.  I could not find a place as good for farming as the location my dad selected at Woodside.  It has a nice pumping point, an irrigation ditch in place, a garden spot that at one time was cleared and is pretty level.  There is also water right for over 7 acres.  That is hard to come by.  There is a family that has over 700 acres at Woodside.  They have been trying for years to sell this for over $5,000 an acre.  Much of it is only worth $50 an acre if that because it is just tamarisk and is in the flood plain which gets flooded 2-3 times a year.  Once in a while these floods are humongous.  That is why all the farmers left Woodside.  Their crops kept getting flooded.  That is one thing that is so good about my dad's property.  No tamarisk to speak of and the garden is well away from the flood plain.  That's logical to me. 

Extortion 17 and the loss of lives of seal team six. Was this the result of a corrupt government?

Extortion 17.  They let them die.  They gave them over to the enemy.  They is our leaders.  The current Obowma administration.  Watch the video.  This even bigger than the Benghazi cover up.  Pretty sad when you really can't trust your own government in America. The video brings out some alarming ideas that if true does not speak well for or of America's current leaders. 

Will Rogers said that all he knows is what he reads in the paper.

Will Rogers said that all he knows is what he reads in the paper.  This is OK if the news reports the news in an open and honest method.  When the papers, radio, TV or Internet news reports what they want you to hear all you get is brainwashed.  You may know a lot but what you know may be false or worthless.  That may be what is happening now with a biased news media.  There are reports of many news outlets reporting the news with a strong bias.  Many people can see through this and are smart enough to figure out the truth from what is reported. 

Best Foods for every Vitamin.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient that helps form and maintain healthy teeth, bones, soft tissues, and skin. This vitamin can also help ward off bacterial and viral infections, prevent night blindness, and keep hair and nails healthy.

Vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid (B9) all assist proper nerve function, the synthesis of DNA, and the formation of red blood cells. They also help maintain brain function, prevent anemia, and are important for metabolism.

Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects the health of cells and improves iron absorption. It’s also important in promoting healthy teeth and gums, healing wounds, and helping the body resist infection.

Vitamin D is a unique vitamin because it can also be created by the body from sunlight. It’s critical for bone health, immune system health, and calcium absorption. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), this vitamin is also associated with a possible decreased risk of colorectal cancer. However, whether it helps reduce risks of other cancers remains unclear.

Like vitamin C, vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage, helps the body use vitamin K, and repairs muscle cells. Studies on vitamin E and cancer have produced mixed results. However, the American Cancer Society says that recent research shows vitamin E found in corn, soybean, and canola oils may have cancer-fighting properties. 

Vitamin K is critical for the formation of blood clots. Without it, you could bleed to death from a simple cut. According to the National Institutes of Health, studies suggest that this fat-soluble vitamin also helps maintain bone strength in older adults.

$50 an acre.

Property at Woodside was recently put up for sale.  Actually it has been on the market for years but recently it was touted as a ghost town up for sale.  The price was still the same.  The price is about $5500 an acre.  Way too much.  When I told an old childhood friend of mine about it he said it was only worth about $50 an acre.  I pretty much agree.  I would say from 50-70% of this property is in the flood plain of the Price River.  That makes it worthless or maybe worth $25 an acre.  Some of it is zoned commercial.  That might be worth the asking price but only for the part that is zoned commercial.  In all these years it has not sold.  I would say maybe 5 years. 

They try to justify the price by the many different speculative uses of the property.  These include truck stop, campground, hotel, farming and speculation about what might happen in the neighboring area such as a nuclear plant, CO2 sequestration or even an oil refinery.  They also justify it by the supposed value of water rights and mineral rights.  In all these years all these speculations have been worthless.  Hence the $50 price tag I suggest. 

Recently I found some water rights for sale for $2000 a share.  It takes 4 shares per acre.  I reason that if the $5500 property is only worth $50 then the $2000 water shares are only worth $20, or thereabouts. 

Greasewood - From trash to treasure.

Greasewood is about all that is growing in our garden spot at Woodside.  I thought greasewood was worthless until I did some internet research and found out how valuable it could be.  Also called chaparral or creosote.  The creosote is supposed to have a good aroma after a rainstorm.  Chaparral, which I believe is the leaves, makes a good tea.  Greasewood has been studied as an anti-cancer plant.  Apparently the results have been mixed.  Some tumors shrinking and some tumors getting bigger.  The tea made from the leaves is supposed to help a lot of ailments. 





Through my recent internet research I found that greasewood and chaparral are the same.  Chaparral being the leaf of the plant.  It is also called creosote.  I did not know that creosote or chaparral were the same as greasewood.  Somehow it makes greasewood more valuable.  I think entirely different about it.  Chaparral rolls off the tongue better.  It sounds better.  I believe there is a romance associated with chaparral.  Creosote also rolls off the tongue better and sounds better and even more romantic.  It sounds more appealing.  It sounds more friendly.




Greasewood has gone from trash to a prize to me.  I look forward to breathing the air associated with the greasewood especially after a rain.  It will, I'm sure, even make my stay at Woodside more bearable and enjoyable.
