Busy for us tends to mean collapsing wages for others.<br /><br />In a really bad situation, I think I would tend toward wanting a network of self suppliers. I think your point is a good one, but a group of knowledgeable connected people are little more likely to get you help than to harm you. russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-21473621850577104052013-09-09T02:36:29.232-04:002013-09-09T02:36:29.232-04:00Lorraine - Yes it does depend.

I saw several of the idiotards wandering around all in black and yellow to the point of stupidity. Four years ago a game would mean total gridlock. If in fact there was one it maybe worse than I first thought actually.<br /><br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-57510447473258442432013-09-09T01:37:51.426-04:002013-09-09T01:37:51.426-04:00Carolyn - I guess I have to amend what I told kymb...Carolyn - I guess I have to amend what I told kymber we will see some tourism around here when deer season opens up.

I've seen other farmers who would charge for picking at the end of the season.<br /><br />Your jelly/jam guy is someone good to have as a friend with all of his networking.<br /><br />Because it's football season, no luck here on the traffic.

Canned or dehydrate. I want a large stock pile next year. Plenty of farmers out here sale to raise cash. Traffic here is always lite, in the late afternoon it picks up folks coming home from work.

I was asking less than the going rate so I just decided that it wasn't worth the trouble and what I don't can or eat fresh, I feed to the steers and chickens. People don't seem to realize how much work goes into raising food. I will trade it for things but I stopped givingSunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.com
