Pig feed is expensive. #soyfree and #nonGMO is now well over $20/bag.
How can we raise healthy #pigs and feed our families healthy #pork ?
I am now feeding 4 pigs on less than one bag of grain per week. They are maintaining good condition on a diet that mostly consists of #fodder from trees. Elm and hazel make up the bulk of their diet right now. They also get birch, willow, beech, sweetgum, grasses, and other things.
I am thinking they will be able to raise some #piglets on this with just a few supplements. I will probably give them some kelp, but a couple of eggs and a bit of milk each week is probably enough. I will try to keep people updated on this.
I hope this helps someone.
I am confident that #permies can develop #regenerativeAG practices that will allow people in temperate climates to raise a closed herd of pigs on a moderate amount of land without significant outside inputs. It just takes a bit of #permaculture ingenuity. Winter will be the difficult hurdle here on my #farm. I think #silage from #foddertrees will be an important piece of the puzzle.

Here it is! I have not checked it out yet.

I saw one for eggs. If they have a good website, it could simply be duplicated for hay.
My #ruralinternet is now actually fast enough to help #grownostr!
I will be posting a lot more on here now. Before I do, however, I must first catch up on all the things that puts dollars into the bank.
This new internet connection will help me do that stuff in record timing! $60/month will save me several hours/week. More time to be with family, grow food, and build the life I want.

Wow! Bitcoin is not even an option! They only accept credit and debit cards!
No kyc, but of course they will keep your payment information. Sounds kind of sketchy to me.

I am hearing that Musk is limiting non paying twitter users to viewing 300-600 post per day. This is a great opportunity to #grownostr !
You know when they fall off easy.
Duh.
I am listening to the beautiful thunder. I hear the first raindrops on the roof. The sweet potatos need it more than anything. The everberring strawberries will put on some new flowers. The pigs will be satisfied with their break from these long hot days.
So many people go on about how they hate rainy days. Fine! Move to the worst deserts of the world! Then you will learn to love the rain. The Lord is good, and he causes it to rain on the just and the unjust.

I don't think this is going to make any meaningful difference on a government level. I am just hoping this will start clicking for some other people who hear it.
I am sure there are many whales on nostr.😁
