    Looks like we are starting to reap what has been sown. When you plant poisonous GMO garbage that kills off the bee population, most other insects, birds, whitetail deer, and farm animals, it's going to come too bit us in the ass eventually. I know about the bee die offs first hand, as I was a 25+ year beekeeper until the GMO wiped my bees out. Here in SW Minnesota the deer are all most extinct, I seen four today for the first time in over 6 months.

    Here in Minnesota the pigs are dying out from the Porcine epidemic diarrhea which they say is caused from a virus. I say the virus got a foot hold because of the poor nutrition from GMO's.

    Dr. Don Huber explains the serious dangers of GMO's. We are going to be facing an epidemic in the near future!

    I have deer out the ass.These are mutant, badass deer, they will eat anything not nailed down.Crazies ate my blackberries last year, year before that they got into my green beans. I have to do battle with them to get my persimmons. They love all of my non GMO stuff . Eat more deer is the slogan out back here .Even the squirrels and chipmunks poach my June Apples and tomatoes .

    Badass dear?LOL I would love to see a few of them around here in the land of GMO's. I know what pests they can be, and they can cause real damage to a crop.

    I take it that you don't have lots of GMO crops growing in your area. Here it's almost never ending every field is corn or soy beans, no wooded areas to speak of. The only real garden preditors here is the ringtail bandit or Racoon, he will sure do a number on your sweet corn if not guarded by electric fence.

    Yeah--those a-holes ate my plums last year. I have to do something for my fruit trees this year or they'll take 'em out. I'm going to grow most of my garden on my decks this year and hope they aren't brave enough to actually walk up the stairs. Plus, I have the dog's romping area near the back deck and the fruit trees, so I'm hoping that the dog's left enough of a scent to keep them away.

    We have tons of them this year--one almost ran me over in my own driveway when I walked out to check the mail.

    Do you know if they will stay away if I leave lights on? Probably not.

    Ditto here. Nobody who actually grows food seems to buy into the anti-GMO propaganda....as far as I can tell they're all growing efficiently enabling us consumers to maximize out food value. But we have deer out the kazoo.

    It's almost humorous how thin they are making cereal boxes now. They won't stand on their own if they make some of them any thinner.

    We looked into farming certain crops, and GMO or not, there isn't anything that's actually profitable--especially as a start-up. We rented out to a farmer this year, along with our neighbor. This guy has all the equipment and we'll be getting some money for it and an improvement in our land--hopefully fewer ticks as well. I'm fixing up the barn/pasture to rent that out as well.

    I usually bake my deer in mushroom gravy , but sometimes I marinate it in a good Italian dressing and grill it , or marinate it in soy sauce , Worchest. sauce , black pepper & garlic , bit of steak sauce whipped into a little vinegar bbq sauce and put it in the dehydrator and make jerky. I could work with some plum laden deer though , put that in the smoker.

    Early profit is tough , but you could get a big tiller , put an acre in green beans , sell them , or a large hen house , sell eggs , maybe a bunch of apple trees, Kludge could sell me some apple beer . There is popcorn , raspberries , etc , things like that have lower overhead. Used to be , a strawberry patch , but the plants are very high nowadays.

    My squirrels knock them out and the chipmunks take a bite out, then my chipmunks take a bite out of the low hanging tomatoes .My squirrels will actually grab the cherry tomatoes off the outdoor dinner table when I leave them out for a little more sun .

    When your growing the GMO rat poison your blinded by the fiat dollars in your eyes! Only when your on the outside you actually can see what's going on.
    As for spreading propaganda Monsatan is the pro at that.

    I remember their little cow commercial when I was a little boy "DDT is good for me He he" but we all know better now: http://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/news...ers-risk-study



    Then Monsatan constantly insisted PCB were safe while they poisoned thousands in Anniston Alabama, In a Monsatan memo they said the couldn't afford to loose $1 of business over Anniston.



    Monsatan and Dow Chemical also hide data from the Vietnam vets that agent orange was dangerous.



    Now Monsatan is saying BT corn is safe and it doesn't affect humans, but we know better now as 2 doctors found the BT toxins in the blood of 96% of pregnant women: http://www.naturalnews.com/032407_Bt...cide_GMOs.html

    It's a fact that GMO corn kills every lab rat that ever ate it, it's not fit for man nor beasts: http://www.carighttoknow.org/new_study

    I as a 25+ year beekeeper can tell you GMO's are deadly to bees. In 2007 I had 300 bee hives working on the next inrease to 500 hives. GMO's totally wiped out my beekeeping and honey operation. I lost well over $100K! Look at what just happened in Canda when they planted the rat poison:
    http://livefreelivenatural.com/37-mi...id-pesticides/

    Here you see the world's largest beekeeper totally wiped out! 30,000 hives! I think it happened again the next year with a much higher loss.


    Finally you will see the beekeepers are suing the EPA for allowing this poison an the market

    WTF? I just saw an ad on AJz for food banks. seems the gvmt set up a site where you can locate local food banks and is running a ad campaign to publicize then.

    like: money is short, so I started going to the food bank and was thinking what will my neighbor think?
    then I saw my neighbor at the food bank...

    quick google, and i find an article about the US Gvmt not buying as much food for food banks and mentions rapidly rising food prices as the cause. The article is from 2012.

    meanwhile, BLM agents are killing cattle and burying them in mass graves and food prices are rising because corn is being turned into ethanol due to gvmt mandate instead of being used as human food or feed for animals...

    Talk about FUBAR!

    Ready For The Price Of Food To More Than Double By The End Of This Decade?
    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-0...ble-end-decade

    It's not just beef, pork, shrimp, eggs, and orange juice...

    Submitted by Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse blog,

    Do you think that the price of food is high now? Just wait. If current trends continue, many of the most common food items that Americans buy will cost more than twice as much by the end of this decade. Global demand for food continues to rise steadily as crippling droughts ravage key agricultural regions all over the planet. You see, it isn't just the multi-year California drought that is affecting food prices. Down in Brazil (one of the leading exporters of food in the world), the drought has gotten so bad that 142 cities were rationing water at one point earlier this year. And outbreaks of disease are also having a significant impact on our food supply. A devastating pig virus that has never been seen in the U.S. before has already killed up to 6 million pigs. Even if nothing else bad happens (and that is a very questionable assumption to make), our food prices are going to be moving aggressively upward for the foreseeable future. But what if something does happen? In recent years, global food reserves have dipped to extremely low levels, and a single major global event (war, pandemic, terror attack, planetary natural disaster, etc.) could create an unprecedented global food crisis very rapidly.

    A professor at the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University named Timothy Richards has calculated what the drought in California is going to do to produce prices at our supermarkets in the near future. His projections are quite sobering...
    [...]
    This is why so many families are financially stressed these days. The cost of living is going up at a steady pace, but for the most part our paychecks are not keeping up. Average Americans are having to stretch their money farther than ever, and many families have reached the breaking point.
    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.
    --Albert J. Nock

Buy a whole turkey or chicken, a bag of frozen broccoli (or fresh if it's cheaper), some ginger/garlic, and whatever vegetables are in season. Cut the breasts off the chicken and use it to make stir-fry. Cut up the rest of the chicken and make roasted legs/thighs. Save the bones and make stock. Freeze the stock until you need it.

    Basic herbs/spices you need--and you can grow most of them easily in CA:

    garlic
    ginger
    rosemary
    cilantro
    basil
    paprika
    salt/pepper
    red pepper flakes
    cayenne
    cumin

    Food stamps can be used to buy seeds and vegetable plants, which surprised me when I found out, but it makes sense. Grow some broccoli, peppers, lettuce, spinach, kale, etc.
    Yeah I've gone through alot of bull$#@! lately. Finally getting everything straightened out. Going into trucking school now. Its the perfect career for an INTJ who spends tons of time writing an Epic Medieval Fantasy book series.

    I was in the local chain grocery store this morning- just saw pints of hand made (even the flavor is hand written on the label- can tell since writing on each is different) ice cream made from grass feed cow milk. Only $10.99. A pint. Ben and Jerry's was $2.99.

    I saw a beer ( one ) at the liquor store , some sort of grapefruit beer , I thought I would kind of like to pick up two to try, price was $10.70 per 16 oz bottle. I still have not tried it , hell for less than $9.63 , I can get a six pack of hard cider that tastes just like what I make in the fall .Of course mine costs me nothing except use of my favorite 5 gallon buckets with lids ( I have a swivel seat with cushion that fits on top that I use when dove hunting )
