      Saw some Hispanic gentleman selling toilet paper and paper towels on the side of the road today. Can't be a good sign...or very profitable.

        I have a pressure canner, but jars were hard to find last year.
        I need to remember to check if they got any in lately, I haven’t checked in the last few months.

          Suddenly local food makes more sense than ever. My sales have been strong the last several weeks. Seems several have gotten out of the farm-to-table business around here, but those of us sticking it out are doing pretty good right now. My feed is organic, so I’m not crying about Round-Up going up in price.

          Hell, alot of people still believe he was a poor farmer when he started, Joel was already wealthy when he took over his dads farm, who was also well off. But he is ****ed smart, he figured out a way to get work on his farm done without having to pay anybody and on occasion, they pay him. He didnt flipflop though, he just found another revenue stream, and I cant blame him for that.

            Thankfully, I stocked up on a close out and have about 20 doz unused jars. My wife thought I was crazy, she's probably right.

              Walmart had stacks of them yesterday in Lampasas.

              And I save every picante and pickle type jar I open. They can be reused

                I don’t blame him either, I’ve always said if I move my operation from Houston area to my family farm in rural TN it would have to rely on shipping to make it.

                The reason I say he flip-flopped is because one minute he’s preaching AGAINST shipping proteins in his books (profiting off that message) and then suddenly starts doing it himself. He didn’t take that decision lightly and wrestled with it himself-I don’t think he minded anyone criticizing it.

                  Well, the bird flu has now been detected here in the States. I pray it does not hit our poultry farms like it has in the Israel area. Otherwise, if it does, you are about to see chicken and egg prices go sky high!!! https://www.wired.com/story/bird-flu...at-comes-next/

                    I thought our grocery stores were bad here....a girl on my team in Georgia just sent me these pics of the Walmart Grocery in their small town. Pretty much empty.
