What does a Roo taste like? I wonder if you’ve had venison Ratty and if you could give us a comparison.

What does a Roo taste like? According to #1 son, if you get a good cut, they are very tasty, very lean. Surprisingly, I have never been in a restaurant that offers roo meat. Must rectify that (bucket list). I would say that kangaroo tastes like a cross between venison and buffalo meat. It has a wonderful gamey taste that adds a lot of flavor without being overpowering… perhaps because roos live in the wild and feed on grass and shrubs. The texture of the meat is not quite as dry as deer but it's leaner than buffalo.There is an export market: Exporting kangaroo meat

My wife and I crave our venison but we always seem to run out before I get more...too many rules.

In UK harvesting roadkill is OK as long as it wasn't your vehicle that it hit.

From my observations, we don't see much venison on menus here although we have plenty of feral and farmed deer. In some locations they are a menace, including some Brisbane suburbs: Fallow deer

I'll leave it for those who are.

Notice to the young buck(s) that stripped the bark from one of my peach trees ... say your prayers!

It is not the 'trade' part of these treaties, it is the 'tribunal' part of them. As a treaty they are above the Constitution. They allow a 'tribunal' of a panel of experts (similar to the unelected EU bodies) to make decisions that would have the force of law on the US. This was discussed by E.M.Smith Chiefio here: chiefio.wordpress.com/2016/07/01/ceta-canada-e-u-trade-agreement/So a decision by the other partners to enforce the Paris Accord COP21 - would become law for the USA. You can see why Australia and Canada like that idea.

Nothing needs to be fixed. There is X amount of hard spring wheat in the world. If Japan imports more from Canada or Aussie, that will leave a supply hole to be filled. It will be filled by US. The TPP had much more than trade in it. It had a commission that could demand Regulations Willy nilly. President Trump did the correct thing by pulling the US out.

Most folks don't realize how unelected commissions, committees, agencies, treaties, intergovernmental panels etc. are used to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and the power of the election process. Unfortunately, I don't think many even care.

Glennkoks has mentioned the grain markets as a climate index. While following the grain prices, maybe we should add vegetables as a shorter-term index. Don't know how theses commodity prices are tracked on the markets ... but, having a short shelf life, these might provide a reflection on shorter-term weather changes, while grains, with a relatively long shelf life and currently large stockpile, might be more indicative of longer-term weather changes.

Read this in another blog today interesting does it apply to you Sig."Really not news to celebrate unless one puts the importance of fight over AGW/Climate Change over the general welfare of humanity.
I have posted this elsewhere but will mention it here. As I was driving Thursday I tuned to AM radio and listened to the Indiana Agricultural Report. The guest expert was talking about sulfur depletion in soil. He said that farmers had not had to worry about it because in the past “acid rain” had kept the sulfur concentration in the soils within the optimum range for most crops. However now it is being found in many fields that sulfur concentration levels are dropping below the optimum range for the most common crops grown in Indiana and that farmers need to ask specifically for testing for it because it is not part of the normal soil analysis. So now what farmers once got free they are going to have to pay for to be sure their yields and crop quality do not decline. Who would have thought that there was a benefit from “acid rain”?
