    Union Pacific Curtails Fertilizer Shipments, Delaying Deliveries and Preventing New Rail Orders from Being Taken

    Anytime. It’s a bit of a hike for you but if your in the area let me know. When I’m in the thick of it I don’t have much time to give a tour but if I know your coming I can make myself available. Late afternoon (after 6 ) mornings are a nonstarter no matter what, just too much going on. It’d be...

    Union Pacific Curtails Fertilizer Shipments, Delaying Deliveries and Preventing New Rail Orders from Being Taken

    Look at the first four plants. I forgot to turn on the fertilizer when I started this row. This is healthy soil lots of organic matter lots of earth worms, pretty much perfect. This is what happens without fertilizer. Can I get tomatoes off it ? Yes! Can I get enough for people I don’t know ? NO!!

    Pressure canning, gonna finally start.

    We made about 40 quarts of spaghetti sauce, and 40 jars of potato leak soup/broccoli cheddar/and butternut bisque. Came out great. The reason for the big canner is since your running a batch might as well be able to put two layers in at a time it’s very time efficient that way

    Economics of home freeze drying. My very limited experience

    I did 4 trays of pealed garlic … man that was pungent! I ran it through the food processor and put it in ball jars with an O2 absorber. then I took the rack out of the FD machine and put the jars in. I ran the vacuum pump for 10-15 sec and it sealed the jars like a champ!

    High natural gas prices leading to lower fertilizer production. Perfect storm on the horizon?

    We were told to expect at minimum 1,000.00$ a ton for fertilizer this spring. But most likely more . For reference last year our average cost was 415.00$ not growing any field corn and cutting back on some of the more labor intensive crops. I personally hate growing less as I can usually move...

    Farmers Cry Foul over Biden’s Death Tax Proposal

    do we really own anything now? Honest question If gov wants your land or home they just take it, if a private business wants your land for the “public good” gov let’s them take it If you don’t pay your taxes they just take it. I have some very strong feelings about this.

    It’s just a matter of perspective... compared to farms in Florida and California all I’m doing is gardening... they probably drop that many tomatoes on the ground when they make a turn with the mechanical harvester.
