Some late season farming action -

Heard noises across the street, so nosey Bill had to check things out. 😃

Looked like they are loading the tandem truck up with something. Maybe someone needed more Christmas money 💰

Yup, here is a better view after I moved. They are loading it up with corn to take to the elevator.

They better hurry up, the snow start is on the edge of Lake Michigan.

Took a big sniff when I was outside. It smells like Friday is getting very close 🤣🤣

If you're in Wisconsin and looking for (or can take and process) meat birds, or know someone who can, there's a Situation going on:

The producer company just decided they didn't want the birds anymore and left the farmers that raised the birds a few days ago high and dry with no food coming in beyond what they had on hand. They've been working with locals have been organizing to get the birds out and processed so they don't suffer.

do hobbits even exist at this point in time?

We don't fucking know!!!

Legit we have no idea. Maybe proto-hobbits do exist, minding their own business over in what will become Eriador. I like to imagine them getting into spats over Who Should Inherit Granny's Good Teapot while over in Beleriand there are balrogs and dragons and desperate battles and all that.

Or maybe they don't yet! No idea! An ongoing Thing in the books is that no one really knows where the hell hobbits came from. The elves are baffled. The dwarves don't know. Humans have no idea. Hobbits themselves think that it's not important, or at least not as important as discussing the finer points of the weather and how it will affect the potato crop.

The global food economy is massively inefficient. The need for standardized products means tons of edible food are destroyed or left to rot. This is one reason more than one-third of the global food supply is wasted or lost; for the U.S., the figure is closer to one-half. The logic of global trade results in massive quantities of identical products being simultaneously imported and exported—a needless waste of fossil fuels and an enormous addition to greenhouse gas emissions. In a typical year, for example, the U.S. imports more than 400,000 tons of potatoes and 1 million tons of beef while exporting almost the same tonnage. The same is true of many other food commodities and countries. The same logic leads to shipping foods worldwide simply to reduce labor costs for processing. Shrimp harvested off the coast of Scotland, for example, are shipped 6,000 miles to Thailand to be peeled, then shipped 6,000 miles back to the UK to be sold to consumers. The supposed efficiency of monocultural production is based on output per unit of labor, which is maximized by replacing jobs with chemical- and energy-intensive technology. Measured by output per acre, however—a far more relevant metric—smaller-scale farms are typically 8 to 20 times more productive.

so I found this really cool website that sells native seeds- and you might be asking me "snekdood, haven't you posted an entire list of websites that sell native wildflower seeds that you're going to add on to soon?" and yes that's true, but that's not the kind of native seed im talking about rn.

see, on my quest to find websites that sell native wildflowers, I came across this dope ass website that sells seeds that have been farmed and harvested by ntv people traditionally, i'll let the website do the talking:

so anyways this is the coolest website ever. you can find the wild relatives of chiles on here called chiltepines, you can find different colors of corn and cool squash's, and every seed from whichever farm has it's own lil origin story written about it. you can also find other veggies here that are already commercially available to help fund and support this organization. as well as there being a cool gift shop with a lot of art made by different native folk from all around as well as cookbooks, jewelry, pottery, weavings, and clearly plenty more:

as well as a pantry?? with premade soup mixes??? and i really want to try them now??????

anyways I think its worth snoopin' around bc I'm almost positive you'll see something you think is cool (oh also if you happen to have some seeds passed down from ur family too and ur also native they seem like they would gladly help produce more)
