I hope we can buy back all the land people from out of town keep buying up sight unseen. Crash the market. Crash it hard.

A friend of mine wrote this over on telegram. Sound words of wisdom.

Don't trust the people want to shut you down.

"Wanted to take a moment to share something....

Many folks have signed up for government programs thinking these are free programs. The government does NOT have free programs. One example are the PPP Loans that were offered to farmers and other small businesses.

If you Google it...it will tell you that it forgivable...you do not have to pay it back. Which may be true....depending on what YOU signed. Not all are forgivable. My husband explained this to a local farmer a couple years ago after he shared with us that he had received the PPP loan. He thought it was great. After my husband explained it's all in the fine print and asked him to please review the paperwork he signed.

The farmer realized that he had in fact been misled and that the government would be expecting a pay back.

So he set the remaining funds aside and started putting back a little at a time in an account to be prepared should they call his loan.

He received a letter stating that his loan was due in full and IMMEDIATELY. If he did not pay he would forfeit personal property etc....meaning they would take his land.

Thankfully he listened to my husband and was prepared. How many farmers do you think were tricked into forfeiting their land for this FREE money.

Please share this info if you know a small business or farmer that may have been desperate during covid and signed up for the scam....their business and their land is at risk.

Please remember

NOTHING IS FREE

Always read the fine print and completely understand ANYTHING you put your signature on."

I am. We are focused on salvaging what we can right now. He needs to off load these two steers right now.

I am curating some links to send him, and that is one of the big ones. I will see if I can orange pill him.

Thanks!

Transitionally regenerative beef

I have a local producer with #beef for sale. It is not the best in the world, but it is much better than what is in the store. He is slowly moving toward a more #regenerative model.

One quarter is sold already, he only has five quarters left. Contact me if you want less than a quarter. That is something I can arrange for you. Especially if you are wanting any organ meats or marrow bones.

Located in West Tennessee.

#grownoster #realfood #forsale

I just sold a quarter #beef for the aspiring #regenerative producer that I mentioned a while back.

The steers are not 100% #grassfed . They were not born on his property. The pasture is not super great. There is not a regular rotation. The steers do not have good grassfed genetics. The system is against him. There is a looming hay shortage. Life is hard.

However, he does have a good plan. He is determined. He has a great attitude. He is moving towards a regenerative model. The steers are largely grassfed. He is failing while daring greatly.

That is commendable.

Transitionally regenerative is a marketable term and an important concept. I openly told people that this beef is not the best in the world, but that it is much better than the beef at the store. Even if it is not perfect, there is value in knowing where your food comes from. It brings us to a more natural state of things. It's called #community .

Support transitionally regenerative producers. This is how we are going take back our farms. Our land. Our food. Our #health . Our communities. Our #economy . Our #liberty . Our #dignity . Our #humanity .

We do it one steer at a time. One #pig at a time. One #sheep at a time. One chicken at a time. One tomato at a time.

Probably. Or worse.

Can you use it to fund cashapp?

I have just been using whatever seems appropriate for a given post.

This is an older video. I let them into this area when the hickories and acorns were dropping. These were some happy #pigs !

OK. So group posts end up in the global feed. That is interesting. I guess we need some more filters or something within clients.

#grownostr

Hey everyone!

I am Micah. I own Bright Future Farms. I have listened to tsp off and on for more than a decade now.

I did not even know what a podcast was when I started listening! I had no clue you could download them and listen offline!

So this is a group through nostr, right? I justupdatedd amythist and this was here. I am behind on the podcasts again.

This has been very useful for many things. You can use the full size keyboard to type in apps on the mobile device.

There is no food tax in TN for three months. I just picked up enough organic tomato sauces to last us 6 months. I would have gotten twice as many if the store had that much. I guess I will have to go back.

This will do a until I can pay someone to grow a tenth of an acre in paste tomatos.

I just got called out because I suck.

That is because I do suck.

I had been complaining that I could not upload pictures with my bad internet connection. That has been resolved, but I have not posted any pictures.

I told you I suck.

It is too dark to take pictures, so I will post some older ones.

#permies #pigs #chickens #grownostr

I know. I need to.

I have the Internet connection. It is too dark again. That's 100% on me.

I just need to suck less!

This batch of Australorp #chickens is putting themselves to bed reliably. Now I just have to move them into the coop with the old flock. This should not be too hard. I may just leave them in the pen around the coop for the first day.

With them moved, I will finally be able to raise a flock of breese chickens. I just had too many poultry projects up to this point.

If you want to produce nutritious food on your land, chickens are about the easiest way to make that happen. A good dog is the best way to keep them from being killed by predators. So how dou you feed the dog? ( #dogstr )

Ultimately, my plan is to have enough poultry and rabbits to take care of the bulk of what the dogs need. They also do very well on the guts of larger animals like pigs, sheep, and deer. I am still feeding kibble right now, but the price is getting to the point that the additional infrestucture to do all of this is starting to look more reasonable.

I will not have rabbits until my willows are producing enough fodder to provide the bulk of their diet. Chickens can be free ranged to a point, but it is possible to have more than is healthy for the land. If I raise them in pens for hatching eggs/chicks/poults, I will still have roosters. Since we really would only eat about one chicken per week, every rooster past number 52 is potential dog food.

#permies don't like to raise birds in pens, but some comprises are worth considering for a time while developing better systems. Normies can break the bank selling eggs for less than the cost of feed. #permaculture requires that one attains a yield. In this case the yield is money, replacement birds, #realfood, dog food, fertilizer, and the useful traits of chicken behavior.

So does it make sense for me to raise more birds? Yes.

Am I going to order 200 birds tomorow? Maybe, but the shipping date would be closer to September or October.

Always remember to stack things in appropriate ways across time. Too much too soon leads to too many problems. That is no excuse to do nothing. It is the time to lay the necessary groundwork.

Grow chickens! #grownostr !

And I misspelled another word on nostr.

Oh well. Proof of immutability.

I spoke with another local producer yesterday. He bought a group of stocker #cattle to finish on grass. He has had to make some comprises to keep the stockers he has on site. They are of different breeds and they just don't have the genetics to earn their keep on his land in it's current state.

We mostly talked about solutions. We talked about securing a better source of hay, the water holding and life conducive properties of #biochar in pasture soil, placement of cross fencing, and much more. Most importantly, we talked about the kind of #cows that will do well on a #grassfed operation.

I made the same mistake when I got my first group of #pigs. I had heard that "a #pig is a pig, just raise them right". While well intentioned and based on much personal experience, modern commercial pigs have tough lean meat without much flavor.

It is very important for us to help the new #farmer source good stock. Those first few years will make or break a person. Bad stock hurt me financially, and gave people an impression about my product that is hard to recover from. #realfood should be a better eating experience.

So what breed should you acquire? It depends, but I would strongly encourage you to look at the type rather than the breed.

There are great older type Aberdeen Angus lines, and big black "Angus"  cows that will die on pasture. There are heritage Yorkshire pigs, and modern commercial Yorkshires.

If you want to raise them the right way, consider these traits. For pigs, big floppy ears and a good layer of fat over its shoulders. For cows, smaller cows with big round guts. For #sheep and #goats, parasite resistance.

Look at what successful people around you are doing, but know that your land will be different. Learn your land and cull hard. Most importantly, never stop learning.

Let's grow farms. Let's grow farmers. Let's #grownostr.

Thanks!
