Actually both can/are consumed by people. Field/dent corn is left to dry for ease of processing/harvesting and is usually used for animal feed (or other uses) as well as grinding into corn meal or corn flour for use as food in that manner. The sweet corns (the type that's preferable for eating...

You've pretty much nailed the biggest difference as far as I'm aware .... detent pins have better retention, but aren't as user friendly for frequent changes. Where as hog rings are meant to be more user friendly for frequent changes, but is reliant on frictional retention (which may vary, and...

Done both. Starting indoors can mean getting an earlier start (and earlier harvest),but it's not without challenges. ...and may be the only way to go with plants that are well out of their native region. Planting seeds directly in ground/containers is easier (no need to transplant),but it...

I'd add that geographic location does make a difference as it can change how many animals a pasture (if used) can sustain on it's own. There's big difference in animals/acre between what I've seen here in the southeast, what can be done out in the the southwest, and even in the upper midwest.

I mostly see donkeys in northern Alabama area. Dogs that have gone rogue/feral are one of the problems that livestock owners have to overcome as there aren't many other large predators to pose a threat. While there are coyotes (and the occasional cougar or black bear) they tend to be a bit less...

I've heard differences and some of the most heart-wrenching bellowing/moos I've heard from cattle was when a trailer of full of cattle went off the interstate and overturned in front of my parent's place years ago.... Thing is I've also seen they can have different "facial expressions" (which...

The pilot light on what? ..... I know on my water heater it's not even enough to pay attention to. Actually for that matter an 80 gallon propane water heater kept at 150°F for a single occupant home is basically in the noise compared to heating a house with propane. Now if you're asking about...

The 12 pts can also be used on those odd/old square-headed fasteners as well as the taps mentioned previously....

Goats are also excellent escape artists. Raising wild turkeys can pose problems if there are wild turkeys in the area (potential for disease transmission) - plus the toms can be quite aggressive and dangerous. Ring-necked pheasants aren't too bad, but processing them can require some different...

Nope, but it can be used for a cheap fish food (for some fish) as well .... just has to be managed so what you're describing is kept in check from what I understand.

square headed bolts/nuts are the only tool-oriented use I'm aware of......

farming full 20 acres? It might be easier to figure out how fast you want/need to get the work, and let the implements needed to make that happen drive the size of the tractor. When looking at tractors It's easier to figure out what to buy after identifying what needs to be done, how fast it...

Taco soup. Pre-mixes of frozen vegetables - a blend of peppers, and onions can make for an easy meal when combined with a protein and heated in a skillet (adding cheese and wrapping the whole thing a tortilla can make it quick to go as well).

PTO horsepower is the horsepower available at the PTO shaft. Drawbar horsepower is a measure of how well the tractor can pull on a calibrated surface. That being the case comparing drawbar horsepower between tractors would be important for use of draft implements and comparing PTO power would...

Have several tools made by them (mostly impact sockets) - which were all made in Taiwan (aka Republic of China). So far from what I've seen, I'm more inclined to trust their stuff over cheaper items made in China (aka People's Republic of China).

Chives can also be grown as a perennial. Depending on where you are some of the herbs can also be grown as outdoor perennials - potentially with the added benefit of helping to keep certain pest insects (like mosquitoes) at bay.
