And this is why the farmers market in my town never has any vendors selling. On top of finding out the city wants to charge $360 to sell there 😳 All the farmers around here only sell dirrect just for that reason alone; add everything else on top of it and what's the point?
My grandfather, father, and uncle followed the advisors and got bigger. Grandfather died in 75, uncle got out in the late 80's, dad retired 18 months ago. Brothers sold CAFO dairy herd and youngstock, about 1500 head and bought about 250 beefers. They still do crops and feed the cattle under roof with all the expensive inputs.
Hi Greg. Got here after years of listening to Joel Salatin. Please recommend a Grassfarmer we can buy beef from near Chicago. We are currently buying from Iowa and Missouri. Thank you.
What weeds do you have growing in your yard or pasture? For example ... clover & dandelion are telling you that your high in calcium. Dandelions have a deep taproot, so they can pull those minerals up. So does mullein, comfrey & burdock (< I wouldn't let that grow, it produces sticker seed head's & it's a pain to get rid of), but they're all medicinal & most livestock will eat it (all).
Poly=multi, face=face. Early on he realised that in order to be profitable he needed to be multi-faced. the farmer, butcher, salesman, the accountant etc.

"European occupation. " Hmmm. Lots of native peoples slash and burn. Would he say something like Native occupation to critique that farming practice? Why not just say 'after years of inadequae care' or 'after years of MIC farming practices'?
I have so much respect for both Joel Salatin and Thomas Massie. The Lunatic Farmer is now working for the government and that's pretty awesome.
That is where I am starting with the acre I have.

I need to grow grass.
I think little blues farm near peoria is grass fed. Thats still several hours from Chicago but not as far as Missouri
What reference is he talking about when he mentions what a plant is telling you about the ecosystem?

Poly=multi, face=face.

He's usually amazing but this starts disjointed & stammering & almost incoherent. Is he having issues?
they didn't pay him enough
