In 1988 I took a class in college called The Biology of Cancer. First day of class the professor listed known carcinogens on the blackboard. He wrote “alcohol”. Someone in class questioned that and he answered “strong carcinogen. We’ve known that for 50 years.” So that is very old news. The issue, I think, was with epidemiological studies, where populations that drink a lot of red wine have lower rates of heart disease. But, as you correctly pointed out, those same people eat a lot more vegetables, nuts, fruit, fish, and legumes, too. And they walk to go get, and socialize over, food, rather than using drive-throughs.
My dream is to Start a small farm here in germany. Have access to my grandparents old farm but regulations and my job at a carmanufacturer have me at the fence. I would not be able to support my family with a small scale farm. So i started homesteading to get some skills. Hopefully times will change where small, creative and differnent will be supported. Thanks for your work
Moved from Florida because I could see the storms growing in strength and the politics drove me out. I was born and raised there and the changes have been drastic. People argue with me saying nothing has changed but it has so very much. Be careful out there and stock up on food and items needed. You never know!!
If the alcohol cancer trend continues, I can only hope that people will finally start looking at the garbage being sprayed across our food too. How much more can cancer and other conditions be linked to pesticides and herbicides compared to alcohol and tobacco?
I'm a small scale market farmer and former beer brewer of ten years. My time to shine! Before leaving the brewhouse we saw an increase in grain price and simultaneously grain that gave us less sugars for fermentation. Generally this is thought to be due to heat and drought in major barley growing areas like Montana. What I had heard was many barley farmers were looking at more winter hardy types of barley to help reduce the need for water and boost the amount of available barley in the summer. Lastly I think alcohol consumption has to do with a generational change as well. I know my brewery, which was once a top 50 brewery in the US, was well aware that Gen z is seemingly much less likely to drink alcohol. It is thought this is due to social media and seeing people online acting foolish while drunk. Off my soapbox. Thanks for all you do! Love the new podcast.
You mentioned yesterday you wanted to make the video longer but I like the 30 min ish. bc I only do part-time farming and have to listen to you in the car on the way to my paying job. 😊
YOU MAKE ME HOMESICK. Greetings from South Western Ukraine. Thanks for making this daily. I download the next morning and start my day. The comment you received about relevance struck a cord with me. Being a small scale farm in a war, it is easy to connect with flood victims. That, plus I am originally from the South.(Roll Tide). I have friends and family recovering from the hurricane, including friends in Asheville. When people are in trouble or suffering, we should all be able to relate. Peace.
I have adhd, and my meds had an almost immediate effect on my drinking habits. I never really drank much, but I'd drink a lot at once if I did. Now I'll have one drink, maybe once a fortnight, two if it's a celebration.
Not a grower except for some native flowers to re-establish in the area, but I'll be listening regularly because it's good to keep in touch with what's affecting those people keeping everyone alive. That, and the sass and wit are also keeping me alive.
Really excited for Growers Daily! The Johan Cruyff reference in the first episode all but cemented my presence here for all time. Thanks for what you do!
Did the whole no running water, no electricity thing way back when I was in the peace corps in Africa as an agroforestry extensionist. Got easier everyday, although different context- as I had no family/kids to support, and had gov't assistance/support etc..
I ordered your book, and got it within a week great job and an amazing channel thanks. I've been burning up your older videos, I'm new to gardening we have less then an acre, and my soil doesn't drain. I feel our backyard is a vacation spot for the occasional ducks passing buy.
❤ great discussion - thank you! Diversity is key for sure. One way we mitigate losses of produce, either from blemishes or if it doesn’t sell at market is to have some customers that take “seconds” at a lower price (usually friends who ferment). We also have that can help with the leftovers and this helps it not feel like it’s being wasted.
Thanks for the show, is becoming my misday listening habit. Alcohol removed alcohol is just that; wine, spirits that the alcohol has been removed. Not sure of the process. The flavor is similar but not really, something is missing. But for us who cannot drink for multiple reasons but still like a glass of “wine” before dinner it is what is out there.
Regarding alcohol, I'm not judging people who consume alcohol, but the benefits of not drinking it far outweigh the benefits of drinking it, and this I know from personal experience. I will not say that I've completely quit as I do have the occasional drink.
I live in South Texas and it was zone 8b now its 9a. I think I can actually grow tomatoes up to November without a hoop house. I am making capital investment into a green house and hoop houses possibly to extend the season and shade cloth to make it cooler in the hottest part of the summer.
Can you talk about the business model. For instance. Tax deductions/rebates. LLC vs ? Do you use multiple LLC. For instance the farm is a LLC (Sleepy Hollow Farm) it sells all the produce to a shell LLC (Joe's Fresh Produce) that sells to the customer. Is this the way to do it? What other models work?
I wonder if the cancer/alcohol connection is based more on the pesticide sprayed grain/grapes/potatoes than the alcohol itself. I wonder about tobacco if it would be that bad if it wasn't sprayed with the 1000 chemicals and wrapped in paper. Also sprayed with herbicide?
I'd like to know what proofing the alcohol was in these tests. There's a lot of questions like, did they skew the numbers? Toss the data from the daily binge drinking frat bros with the one glass of wine a day soccer moms?
Here in Northern California the downturn in wine sales is really hurting vineyards. It seem true that alcohol is the health tonic once promoted. And many younger folks are turning to other alcoholic beverages. Alcohol free beverages are surging for the sober curious.
That's an interesting question - not sure the data is there for what types of alcohols folks were drinking and how they were produced in these studies, but would be intersting to see.
Thank you for recommending that Organic Farmers Business Handbook, will think about getting it, and thank you for your time and effort posting videos and for all that you do. I think we have to read between the lines of the alcohol article or any article these days for that matter. Often there is an agenda behind them. Why is it being published now? Who runs the media? We will likely see more of this kind of article critical of alcohol products. I think it may be because the earthly powers that be would rather replace petroleum based products in our gas tanks with gasoline made from plants. It would not do to keep putting alcohols in our mouths if they could be used for our gas tanks instead. The UNs Sustainable Development Goals are the open agenda that they promote, it has also been called Agenda 21 in the past but changed to Agenda 2030 when the listed global goals were not accomplished by 2021. There is another hidden agenda behind the open one, again one must read between the lines as to what their real goals are. I have seen Agenda 2021 at work when I lived in Germany and Italy for awhile back in the 90s and early 2000s, they even had posters up concerning local meetings for Agenda 21 and then implemented a slow down of traffic in local towns that in most cases ruined local independent businesses and brought in more chain stores, and that was only the start of it. Here some quotes from the UN concerning some of their agenda. SDGs are the UNs Sustainable Development Goals. "Oil and gas development has historically contributed to some of the challenges that the SDGs seek to address-climate change and environmental degradation, population displacement, economic and social inequality, armed conflicts, gender-based violence, tax evasion and corruption, increased risk of certain health problems, and the violation of human rights." "By endorsing the 2030 Agenda, the world agreed to deliver the SDGs while also addressing the risks of climate change. The Atlas emphasizes that the oil and gas industry must be a key part of the solution to address climate change. While there is no single pathway to a net-zero GHG emissions future, the Atlas presents a number of actions that could contribute to the transition in order to stabilize atmospheric GHG concentrations and global temperatures in line with the Paris climate agreement." These quotes are from sdgs.un.org/partnerships/mapping-oil-and-gas-industry-sustainable-development-goals-atlas-sdgs-1-17
The trend away from alcohol is merely the trend toward THC. When funds are limited you choose your poison, literally. There are far more damaging substances in our daily diets than alcohol. The difference is booze has visible effects. I made the leap to full time farming this year. Terrible year to do it, lol. Working figuring out how to scale in the face of massive inflation. Spending is down at the markets.
Probably a better chance they mix that non-alcoholic juice with THC from pot. Because that is safe....right? Well safe till they start to study it since it was a tier 1 drug and few people did studies. Who ever thought that taking something labeled poisonous is okay at lower doses? What we make ourselves think for some enjoyment and self medication. Saying all that...I will miss the main aggie product of your state...Bourbon. To me its a main tourist attraction. But. Yeah.

And they walk to go get, and socialize over, food, rather than using drive-throughs.
And I hasten to add, they have national health systems where they can go to the cardiologist without going broke.

Where can this be watched other than RUclips? Thank you!
But one man's "reasonable segue' " is another man's "stretch." Always enjoy your videos, and yes, even the "dad jokes....."
drawing an analogy to cattle ranching, it's not the cow, it's the how. So with the "alcohol" is it the alcohol, or how it's grown/made/sprayed?
That's an interesting question - not sure the data is there for what types of alcohols folks were drinking and how they were produced in these studies, but would be intersting to see.
Do you do any live speaking events?
Do you happen to have shirts with your tag line by any chance?
We've talked about making "Hey nerds" shirts forever, but not yet. Some day!
Hearing is definitely not the same as listening, or so my girlfriend tells me. All the time. So many times.
I heard studies on athletes show they have less vigour when it's cold
I’m not the only one that got the Niece joke, right?
I would love to farm full time, but I can't afford to live on minimum wage, lol

Most things are safe/beneficial in lower doses and become more dangerous/harmful in higher doses. Same goes for water, alcohol and pot.
