Not trying to be preachy boys, but if you have space, and are not planting some kind of garden or stocking up on food, you're being foolish IMHNSO. I give a shit about you guys, and I don't want you and your family hammered by high food prices. A 40 foot row of potatoes next to a fence can net you over 100 lbs. It's not hard, and it's good for your mind, body and soul.
Time for Victory gardens to fight against the globohomo food monopolies. Every dollar of food you produce, is a dollar your starve them of teaching systemic racism bullshit.
Cant wait for you and the family to get to SC and get going.
When you get there, if you need any advice. I'm here.

Re: Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance
Man straw is expensive as hell lol. Gotta be dirt for me, but I get free wood chips every year from a tree cutter friend.
I suggest making a connection to one of those guys. They have to pay to dump chips, so they’ll be happy to drop a ton next to your garden.

I do have a tree trimmer bringing me wood chips, no cost.

Re: Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance
Straw is normally under $5/bale here. This spring we saw prices up to $10. That’s just silly.C-Mag wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 5:29 pmStraw is cheap in my area.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 3:49 pmMan straw is expensive as hell lol.

Straw shouldn't cost anything like that much.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Hay is always volatile because it is so dependant on the weather.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 6:46 pmI do indeed. It’s been crazy.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 5:55 pmAre you sure you don't mean hay?SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 5:45 pm

Prices go up as yields go down.

Today was Cherry picking day.
Canned 16 Qts of pie filling. The rest headed to the Freezer.
