Plenty of great headlines lately. If I had the time, I would show how all of these disasters or whatever you want to call them are related in detail. We run from one crisis to another without room or time to catch our breath. Greece to Italy to the IMF to Germany bailing out Europe [...]

During the past few weeks we have been spending time – helping a neighbor install a 12′ x 40′ tin roof on their barn – helped a friend work on his homestead – donated some time and training to a “residence” for some folks who were in need and gave them some seeds and some [...]

Activist judges seem to be misunderstanding their role as the judicial branch, not the legislative branch -AGAIN! A Wisconsin judge has ruled that no one has the right to grow or eat their own food.

Any moron who thinks that adding an additional 230,000 government workers to enforce the F.D.A.’s new “green house” gas regulations is a good idea deserves what’s coming.

No blooms will set in this oppressive heat; however, if you can keep your plants alive, they will start to set fruit when the temperature starts to recede. [...]

Seems to me we are seeing a huge pressure on our global food supply. Local cattle farmers are selling their cattle simply because they cannot grow enough [...]
