This is the old part of Mountain Cement Company in Laramie, WY. Cement is the glue used to make the concrete. The original factory seen here was established in 1927 by the Monolith Portland Cement Company. Now known as the Mountain Cement Company, they have two limestone quarries, two shale quarries and one gypsum quarry.
Limestone is blended with shale or clay and iron to a desired chemical composition. Then it is ground into a fine powder called raw meal. The raw meal goes into a kiln of about 2,800°F where it changes again into a product called clinker. Clinker is mixed with 5% gypsum and ground into a fine powder called portland cement....and that's all I have to say about that!
VH Produce owner Vue Her is a Hmong farmer on a 10-acre field, who grows several Asian specialty crops in Singer, CA, near Fresno, on November 9, 2018. He has worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) to implement many conservation improvements, including help replacing an old tractor for a more efficient lower emission tractor and installation of seasonal high tunnels.
Growing up on a farm and learning the skills was just not possible for Vue Her who was born to farmer parents in a refugee camp in Thailand. He could not put into practice all the farming skills they used in Laos. General schooling in the refugee camps was minimal. At the age of 15, he started working a variety of odd jobs and work as a craftsman in the camp. This 'on the job' experience taught him an appreciation for hard work, and he took pride in being able to contribute to his family. There he married and started his own family.
Eager to work, he started with Foster Farms as a janitor. Then he stocked produce at an Asian grocery store. He kept working hard and saved his money. After years of factory work, he started his farm operation on leased land, in 2011, with plans to buy his own land in two years.
As a young man with a growing family, starting a farm in the United States was a big challenge and he knew he needed help. While listening to a local Asian language radio station, he heard NRCS soil conservationist Sam Vang’s NRCS radio program (in the Hmong language). Producer Vue Her said, “I am a big fan of the program and without the NRCS radio program, I don’t think I knew USDA programs.” (Note: The radio station is no longer producing the program.)
Farming, in the beginning, was hard and not efficient for Vue Her because he had to wait to use a borrowed tractor. This caused the soil to be worked out of schedule, causing the harvest to be out of the schedule for the farmer's markets where he sells his produce. To stay on schedule and meet market needs he purchased his own tractor that was supported by the USDA through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) program. www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/...
He quickly learned from Sam Vang that the farming practices his parents used are different from the standard practices in the US. Soil conservationist Sam Vue helped him learn about soil conservation, management skills, business knowledge, and time management. Some examples of this are the practice of rotating the crops in each plot to promote soil health and using standardized tractor attachment settings to save time and effort. For this Mr. Her says, "I'm happy to be part of NRCS programs and to know the staff. I have less stress, and I'm thankful for the farm management skills. Whenever I have a question, I call Sam."
The EQIP program also helped him purchase two seasonal high tunnels so that they can grow dozens of different varieties of Asian vegetable in the long arched plastic wrapped structures. In the tunnels, many of the vegetables are planted as seeds and are very sensitive to either frost or heat. High tunnels also helped him to maintain steady production and income year-round.
As a family business, his workforce is his seven children who pitch in after school. Each week, they push to pick, clean and box the produce just before the weekend markets. Today, wife Mai Houa Yang, son Bee Her, and daughter Chai Her harvest peanuts for sale tomorrow.
"I appreciate being able to produce traditional vegetables for other cultures, says Mr. Her. "I feel good about working hard and being accepted in the community of growers and by my customers."
When asked, what is a good day? He laughs, every day is the best day because I spend more time on the farm than at home.

The cars we build at Toyota's factory in Burnaston are supplied to 56 countries around the world, including Japan.
Today, Burnaston produces as many of 120 basic versions of these cars with options on top of this, and the number is growing all the time.
This 1932 Studebaker Indy Car is one of five factory team cars which raced in 1932 and 1933. Studebaker hired Herman Rigling of Indianapolis to build the frames and bodies for the cars which were assembled with Studebaker running gear and Studebaker prepared engines.
In 1932 the five car Studebaker team finished 3rd, 6th, 13th, 15th and 16th.
In the 1933 race Studebaker powered cars finished 6th,7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 28th.
This car, driven in the 1932 race by Pete Kreis, was running 7th at 450 miles when a tire blew. It ended up finishing 12th in 1932 and then 9th in 1933.
Engine; 200hp 336 cu in Straight 8 Studebaker President.
Top speed is over 140 mph, which it accomplished in 1932.

Part of the former Ordnance Factory No.10 (Roften) at Hooton. The factory manufactured heavy anti-aircraft guns during WWII, but has now been demolished.
Here's where I was woken up by the Michals; I was sound asleep with jetlag and exhaustion. To my right was an Israeli McDonalds, where we ate, and in the air was the worst stench ever.
Michal asked someone in McDonalds what the building across the street was, and it all fell into uncomfortable focus: it's a dog food factory.
So if you ever wanted to know what a kosher dog food factory looks like, there it is.

While driving through the deserts on the way to Texas the only thing you could see was miles of sand and then a factory. Kind of sad
