They're still warning about a second wave, so the need will be here for quite some time. If you have the right material and a sewing machine, this could be some good extra money for a another year or so.
Did you know that corn is grown on every continent except Antarctica? Here are a few more fun facts about corn: ( It's a PDF file....it's safe) https://www.bpsd.org/Downloads/Live%20Well%20Newsletter.pdf
Depends on the reader and how well he or she can comprehend things like gear ratios, hill grades, electronic logs, etc..... If you were an accountant looking for a career change, it might be hard for you.
It always is good to get a fresh, lighthearted perspective on all this from time to time. This career path can be overwhelming at times.
Thank you for the lighthearted break, friend.
Even if we don't want to admit it, I think all of us recently have thought about how we would get along if society REALLY went south because of this virus pandemic.
So the question is: What kinds of foods could you survive on that you can plant in a garden?
Wal-Mart uses containers that resemble what you're talking about for their Christmas inventory overflow. (I'm sorry, that was my first thought)
Is there a problem with the storage they have now? Or are you simply thinking of more cost effective options?
The whole economic side of this is going to be unstable for a few years in my opinion. Society shut down for a month or so. Pay close attention to how leaders and the common people attempt to build it back up.
Interesting times we're living in right now.
Welcome aboard, friend.
One part of farming that crosses different cultures is selling your crops to neighbors and townfolk. You seem to be a perfect fit for that seeing how you're new. I have found that this is the best way to start. Small.
People make these to be competitive, so I would imagine their weaknesses to be about the same as others. Battery life is what always irritates me though.
Some towns have open parks large enough to where you don't have to worry about getting too close to others. Buy some frisbees. Get those little ones running.
Reduce fertilizes, check filters often and make sure that it is far enough away from land that you do fertilize. A lot of states and counties have rules concerning this.
Your local extension office should be able to do that. It would be a good idea to get to know them for general purposes anyway. For instance, does Connecticut consider 16 acres of horse pasture a bona-fide crop? That could make a difference.
Anyone here have a well on their property for personal use? If so, what kind of acreage does it sit on? I just want to see if other states are as restrictive with wells is regards to how big of a lot you can drill on to make a well. Where I live it's 2 acres minimum.
What ingredients are in Aloe Vera gel? I'm kind of a stickler for close-to-perfection when it comes to home-made remedies. A lot of them work well, especially Aloe, but I always want to make sure.
All these added flexibilities...…… do they include getting rid off all the red tape involved in federal programs? That's the biggest roadblock I've always seen.
I don't think the virus crosses over into animals. There are immune boosters you can buy for your stock if you're concerned. Also, the more rural you are, the better off you'll be.
There are many farming operations around the country that have more buildings then they currently need. Some landowners have taken to renting out a building on their property to help supplement their income and to help others who may need a second garage or machinery holding area.
Would you...
People have been watching too many zombie apocalypse movies and are convinced the end of the world is near. They are also afraid that stores are going to somehow run out of goods so, like Wildlife said, are afraid of home invasions.
