00:08:35.308 there. 00:08:35.429 --> 00:08:37.250 And your mom is even saying, like, 00:08:37.269 --> 00:08:38.191 we've had rain. 00:08:38.730 --> 00:08:41.312 We've had, in fact, too much rain. 00:08:42.533 --> 00:08:44.693 And still we we are struggling. 00:08:45.788 --> 00:08:47.869 She's struggling trying to dig up comfrey. 00:08:47.889 --> 00:08:49.429 She's struggling, like, 00:08:49.470 --> 00:08:50.710 putting in the fence posts. 00:08:51.770 --> 00:08:53.751 And this is ridiculous. 00:08:53.851 --> 00:08:54.152 I mean, 00:08:54.371 --> 00:08:56.133 something is definitely going on now. 00:08:57.592 --> 00:08:58.214 She thinks... 00:08:58.474 --> 00:08:59.714 Your mom is starting to think, 00:08:59.774 --> 00:09:00.375 and usually... 00:09:01.313 --> 00:09:02.595 I mean, 00:09:02.615 --> 00:09:04.076 this is a side of her genius that 00:09:04.275 --> 00:09:05.956 she doesn't make known to everybody else 00:09:06.017 --> 00:09:06.337 out there. 00:09:06.638 --> 00:09:08.399 I am usually the one that is the 00:09:08.438 --> 00:09:09.099 recipient of it. 00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:10.139 She says, 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:11.980 I'm starting to wonder if they're putting 00:09:12.042 --> 00:09:14.842 glyphosate or something like it in the 00:09:14.884 --> 00:09:16.345 chemtrails or whatever else they're 00:09:16.365 --> 00:09:18.625 dropping because this makes no sense. 00:09:18.666 --> 00:09:20.727 We even got rain last night. 00:09:21.599 --> 00:09:22.519 And the night before. 00:09:23.280 --> 00:09:24.721 And it's still nearly impossible. 00:09:24.741 --> 00:09:26.663 This ground is hard as woodpecker lips and 00:09:26.703 --> 00:09:27.625 it doesn't make sense. 00:09:28.264 --> 00:09:30.386 And the regrowth on everything I have out 00:09:30.447 --> 00:09:30.727 here, 00:09:31.307 --> 00:09:34.431 there is no way in fifty days when 00:09:34.451 --> 00:09:36.092 we've had more than enough rain, 00:09:36.933 --> 00:09:38.695 no way I should be looking at grass 00:09:38.715 --> 00:09:40.356 that is like half grown back. 00:09:41.433 --> 00:09:42.375 doesn't make sense at all. 00:09:43.154 --> 00:09:44.897 So there's definitely something that I 00:09:44.917 --> 00:09:46.278 haven't heard anybody else talk about it, 00:09:46.298 --> 00:09:47.999 but if anybody else has experienced that, 00:09:48.019 --> 00:09:49.961 uh, yeah, let me know. 00:09:50.280 --> 00:09:51.501 Um, 00:09:51.522 --> 00:09:53.504 cause that is definitely something going 00:09:53.524 --> 00:09:53.984 on. 00:09:54.083 --> 00:09:56.066 I actually had something similar to that 00:09:56.145 --> 00:09:59.389 on my, uh, farm news, uh, section today. 00:09:59.568 --> 00:09:59.808 Yeah. 00:09:59.828 --> 00:10:01.269 I it's definitely happening. 00:10:01.671 --> 00:10:04.033 Like this water is not soaking in and 00:10:04.113 --> 00:10:05.394 softening up the ground at all. 00:10:05.833 --> 00:10:07.134 Like I was brought for, well, 00:10:07.274 --> 00:10:08.495 I'll wait till I'll wait till you're done. 00:10:08.535 --> 00:10:10.177 But yeah, I agree with you. 00:10:10.666 --> 00:10:10.846 Well, 00:10:10.885 --> 00:10:12.868 Dane was also saying that all the rain 00:10:12.908 --> 00:10:14.168 events and everything that we had, 00:10:14.188 --> 00:10:16.370 that none of it soaked in because it's 00:10:16.409 --> 00:10:18.130 essentially sublimating, 00:10:18.751 --> 00:10:20.312 meaning that it's going from a solid to 00:10:20.332 --> 00:10:21.192 a gas right off. 00:10:21.234 --> 00:10:22.514 It's not even going in the liquid. 00:10:23.154 --> 00:10:25.135 So the snow's out there and it's just 00:10:25.176 --> 00:10:27.077 being evaporated and it's not even soaking 00:10:27.118 --> 00:10:28.458 in because of the garbage you're doing. 00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:29.298 Well, 00:10:29.318 --> 00:10:30.559 I got a feeling they're doing some other 00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:30.799 stuff. 00:10:30.820 --> 00:10:31.860 So keep an eye out, folks. 00:10:31.899 --> 00:10:33.320 If you see anything like this or you 00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:34.880 haven't experienced, email me. 00:10:34.941 --> 00:10:35.421 Let me know. 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.201 Or just sound off in the chat. 00:10:37.221 --> 00:10:38.322 Hopefully, William can catch it. 00:10:39.001 --> 00:10:39.302 All right. 00:10:39.381 --> 00:10:41.383 So that brings me to another thing also, 00:10:41.423 --> 00:10:41.663 man. 00:10:42.604 --> 00:10:46.725

Denise from Renewed Homestead, she said, 00:10:46.745 --> 00:10:47.725 do you guys get any rain? 00:10:47.745 --> 00:10:49.586 Because they were forecasting rain every 00:10:49.625 --> 00:10:50.166 single day. 00:10:51.046 --> 00:10:52.147 And it was looking like we were going 00:10:52.167 --> 00:10:53.346 to get it left and right, 00:10:53.407 --> 00:10:53.966 left and right. 00:10:54.206 --> 00:10:55.827 And, of course, we got some sprinkles. 00:10:56.567 --> 00:10:57.328 And that's about it. 00:10:57.428 --> 00:10:58.708 But I think – 00:10:58.958 --> 00:11:02.701 My suspicion is that I don't think you 00:11:02.721 --> 00:11:04.624 have to be Nostradamus to figure out that 00:11:04.823 --> 00:11:06.345 everything they tell us right now is a 00:11:06.384 --> 00:11:06.684 lie. 00:11:07.105 --> 00:11:07.885 And I mean everything. 00:11:08.407 --> 00:11:10.087 Going all the way down to the forecast, 00:11:11.889 --> 00:11:13.691 I think I know that it's the strategy 00:11:13.730 --> 00:11:14.171 of tension. 00:11:15.032 --> 00:11:16.312 That they don't want you to be able 00:11:16.332 --> 00:11:17.254 to trust in anything. 00:11:18.163 --> 00:11:18.722 So, folks, 00:11:18.842 --> 00:11:20.183 I'm just going to tell you right now 00:11:20.903 --> 00:11:22.083 because people ask, you know, 00:11:22.124 --> 00:11:23.044 what can I trust in? 00:11:23.105 --> 00:11:24.184 Well, Jesus, 00:11:24.384 --> 00:11:27.285 that's the only explanation I got because 00:11:27.306 --> 00:11:28.745 that's how crazy things are getting right 00:11:28.806 --> 00:11:31.726 now because everything is a lie. 00:11:31.807 --> 00:11:33.388 I mean, this idiotic story. 00:11:33.827 --> 00:11:35.048 William, don't bring up his name. 00:11:35.227 --> 00:11:36.788 He asked that I don't say his name 00:11:37.489 --> 00:11:38.708 or who he works for, 00:11:38.788 --> 00:11:40.429 but you and I both know a pilot. 00:11:40.690 --> 00:11:42.190 He used to fly in the military. 00:11:42.210 --> 00:11:43.750 He used to fly jets in the military. 00:11:44.510 --> 00:11:46.052 And now he flies for one of the 00:11:46.072 --> 00:11:46.792 big airlines. 00:11:46.932 --> 00:11:48.312 And I asked him about this whole thing 00:11:48.351 --> 00:11:51.793 going on in that plane that flew into 00:11:51.894 --> 00:11:52.254 Israel. 00:11:53.134 --> 00:11:56.634 And basically, it's an impossibility. 00:11:56.654 --> 00:12:00.336 The the the official story is an 00:12:00.376 --> 00:12:01.917 impossibility in a nutshell. 00:12:02.697 --> 00:12:03.158 And so 00:12:05.183 --> 00:12:07.004 everything they tell us is a manufactured 00:12:07.044 --> 00:12:07.245 lie. 00:12:07.264 --> 00:12:08.945 And I think it's honestly a national and 00:12:09.004 --> 00:12:10.446 even a world IQ test. 00:12:11.066 --> 00:12:12.725 I think the people that are buying this 00:12:12.765 --> 00:12:13.106 stuff. 00:12:15.206 --> 00:12:15.447 Yeah. 00:12:15.966 --> 00:12:17.248 I think it's like, here's your sign. 00:12:17.288

--> 00:12:17.548 You know, 00:12:17.607 --> 00:12:18.607 I don't know what else to say, 00:12:19.268 --> 00:12:19.609 but anyway, 00:12:19.629 --> 00:12:21.109 they're playing games with a forecast. 00:12:21.908 --> 00:12:23.169 Anyway, some good news tomorrow. 00:12:23.250 --> 00:12:25.330 I'm I'm going to be picking up some 00:12:25.669 --> 00:12:28.990 breast birds and well, not the birds. 00:12:29.010 --> 00:12:30.052 I'm actually going to be picking up the 00:12:30.131 --> 00:12:31.231 eggs and I'm going to hatch them out. 00:12:31.932 --> 00:12:33.273 So it was kind of cool. 00:12:34.210 --> 00:12:35.610 how the Lord puts the right people in 00:12:35.650 --> 00:12:36.751 front of me right when I need them, 00:12:37.351 --> 00:12:38.513 because there's a lot of people that 00:12:38.533 --> 00:12:39.712 produce these birds, 00:12:40.453 --> 00:12:42.735 and they're not doing it right, 00:12:42.934 --> 00:12:44.216 and they're all messed up. 00:12:44.336 --> 00:12:46.157 So hopefully I got a good batch here. 00:12:46.658 --> 00:12:47.477 I'll be picking those up. 00:12:47.518 --> 00:12:48.698 I'm going to incubate them out, 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.559 and hopefully I don't have any mongoloids 00:12:50.580 --> 00:12:51.221 coming out of here. 00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:52.301 But then again, 00:12:52.520 --> 00:12:53.642 we do live in the mountains, 00:12:54.022 --> 00:12:56.183 so anything can happen. 00:12:57.221 --> 00:12:57.562 Anyway, 00:12:58.322 --> 00:12:59.404 I said me and your mom had to 00:12:59.424 --> 00:13:00.905 go to Asheville several times this last 00:13:00.966 --> 00:13:01.206 week. 00:13:01.907 --> 00:13:05.390 Kind of an annoyance, but man, 00:13:05.652 --> 00:13:06.533 I'm telling you what, son, 00:13:06.572 --> 00:13:09.255 the homeless problems are off the chain. 00:13:09.975 --> 00:13:12.259 It's like it was always an issue. 00:13:13.274 --> 00:13:15.375 But it has gotten to the point where 00:13:16.155 --> 00:13:17.456 I think before long we're going to wind 00:13:17.517 --> 00:13:20.119 up being San Francisco if this keeps up. 00:13:20.698 --> 00:13:22.019 I've never seen so many bums in my 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:22.379 life. 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:24.961 I mean, people strung out on whatever, 00:13:25.022 --> 00:13:25.422 yelling. 00:13:26.062 --> 00:13:28.224 One dude walking down the sidewalk holding 00:13:28.283 --> 00:13:32.326 a two-by-four, swinging stuff around. 00:13:32.466 --> 00:13:33.947 Another guy – I mean – 00:13:34.708 --> 00:13:35.749 I can't even go through it all, 00:13:35.769 --> 00:13:37.129 but I'm wondering if everybody else is 00:13:37.149 --> 00:13:38.350 seeing a lot of this stuff too, 00:13:38.970 --> 00:13:42.490 because it is absolutely getting crazier. 00:13:42.610 --> 00:13:43.730 One last thing I want to point out, 00:13:43.811 --> 00:13:44.150 folks, 00:13:45.051 --> 00:13:46.471 and maybe we can circle back and hit 00:13:46.490 --> 00:13:47.772 some of these questions here or 00:13:47.851 --> 00:13:48.251 statements. 00:13:48.292 --> 00:13:49.351 Thank you, Andrea, 00:13:49.371 --> 00:13:50.351 for putting them in big letters. 00:13:50.371 --> 00:13:51.091 We'll come back to you. 00:13:52.753 --> 00:13:53.653 I'm sleeping a whole lot. 00:13:53.732 --> 00:13:54.852 I'm sleeping even better now. 00:13:54.952 --> 00:13:55.832 I want to tell you what I think 00:13:55.873 --> 00:13:57.192 is responsible for it. 00:13:57.894 --> 00:13:59.714 Turning off the power to my bedroom. 00:14:00.278 --> 00:14:01.461 Which I've done before. 00:14:01.581 --> 00:14:01.743 Well, 00:14:01.783 --> 00:14:04.809 it was done for me back when that 00:14:04.971 --> 00:14:06.595 manufactured hurricane came through. 00:14:07.296 --> 00:14:07.557 But... 00:14:09.322 --> 00:14:10.201 I, it's kind of cool. 00:14:10.422 --> 00:14:11.982 I complained about the wiring that they 00:14:12.023 --> 00:14:12.863 did in this place, 00:14:13.643 --> 00:14:15.243 but this is one area where I don't, 00:14:15.363 --> 00:14:17.884 where they put the receptacles on one 00:14:17.943 --> 00:14:19.764 circuit and they put the lights on another 00:14:19.803 --> 00:14:20.144 circuit. 00:14:20.865 --> 00:14:21.945 So where your head is, 00:14:21.985 --> 00:14:23.424 typically those wires are going to be 00:14:23.465 --> 00:14:24.245 running anywhere. 00:14:24.965 --> 00:14:25.706 It all depends, 00:14:25.745 --> 00:14:27.706 but it could be anywhere between sixteen 00:14:28.285 --> 00:14:29.346 to thirty six inches, 00:14:29.785 --> 00:14:31.226 which is about where your head is when 00:14:31.246 --> 00:14:32.307 they're running this stuff through the 00:14:32.326 --> 00:14:32.667 wall. 00:14:33.547 --> 00:14:33.846 Well, 00:14:34.407 --> 00:14:35.967 we have in the electric trade what we 00:14:35.988 --> 00:14:36.967 call the right hand rule. 00:14:37.756 --> 00:14:38.537 In a nutshell, 00:14:38.557 --> 00:14:40.097 without boring you with all the nerdy 00:14:40.138 --> 00:14:40.518 stuff, 00:14:41.077 --> 00:14:43.599 essentially the magnetism and whatever's 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.120 coming off those wires is basically going 00:14:47.160 --> 00:14:47.561 to you. 00:14:48.140 --> 00:14:49.662 I've done an experiment where I killed the 00:14:49.701 --> 00:14:51.442 power and it seems like both of us 00:14:51.461 --> 00:14:52.503 are sleeping a whole lot better. 00:14:52.543 --> 00:14:53.562 So I want to make sure I point 00:14:53.582 --> 00:14:54.442 that out as well. 00:14:54.984 --> 00:14:55.624 And then finally, 00:14:55.663 --> 00:14:56.964 the last thing I'm going to say here, 00:14:57.865 --> 00:15:00.086 folks, even Drudge Report, okay, 00:15:00.806 --> 00:15:02.285 they're

00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:25.020 you better be careful about that, 00:25:25.201 --> 00:25:26.000 and the legumes, 00:25:26.761 --> 00:25:29.003 the ones that incorporated basically a lot 00:25:29.044 --> 00:25:31.065 of variety colors, essentially, 00:25:31.204 --> 00:25:32.226 in the diet are 00:25:32.566 --> 00:25:34.047 Those are the ones that seem to turn 00:25:34.086 --> 00:25:35.347 your telomeres backwards. 00:25:35.948 --> 00:25:37.469 So that's something to consider for all of 00:25:37.528 --> 00:25:38.869 us that are, you know, trying to, 00:25:39.589 --> 00:25:39.890 you know, 00:25:40.151 --> 00:25:41.852 we're all going up against father time, 00:25:41.951 --> 00:25:46.034 but, you know, you want to try to, 00:25:46.253 --> 00:25:47.134 you know, 00:25:47.234 --> 00:25:48.556 stay it off as much as possible. 00:25:49.016 --> 00:25:50.037 All right, so the next one here, 00:25:50.076 --> 00:25:53.298 breakfast staple may shield aging brains. 00:25:53.378 --> 00:25:56.380 New study challenges decades of dietary 00:25:56.420 --> 00:25:56.780 dogma. 00:25:57.586 --> 00:25:59.287 Okay, through the time of my life, 00:25:59.307 --> 00:26:00.567 we were told eggs were good, 00:26:01.087 --> 00:26:01.989 then they were bad, 00:26:02.729 --> 00:26:03.990 and then you were to only eat the 00:26:04.029 --> 00:26:07.352 whites when, knowing what we know now, 00:26:07.392 --> 00:26:08.712 that's absolutely absurd. 00:26:09.313 --> 00:26:11.055 But anyway, what they're finding out 00:26:12.037 --> 00:26:14.317 is that the Alzheimer's risk is about 00:26:14.377 --> 00:26:15.097 twenty percent, 00:26:15.157 --> 00:26:17.638 twenty seven percent actually lower for 00:26:17.679 --> 00:26:19.778 those that eat eggs on a regular basis. 00:26:20.298 --> 00:26:21.779 I remember Dr. Joel Wallach, 00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:24.059 he's a veterinarian and a naturopath. 00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:25.941 That was one of the big things he 00:26:25.961 --> 00:26:26.961 would tell everybody to do. 00:26:27.020 --> 00:26:27.161 Now, 00:26:27.181 --> 00:26:28.882 I'd be a little more cautious these days, 00:26:28.922 --> 00:26:30.342 depending on where you get your eggs. 00:26:30.981 --> 00:26:32.462 But he would have people eating a dozen 00:26:32.522 --> 00:26:33.163 eggs a day. 00:26:34.022 --> 00:26:35.723 And don't cook them very much either. 00:26:36.585 --> 00:26:38.705 And we're just seeing a lot of this 00:26:38.726 --> 00:26:39.546 stuff confirmed. 00:26:39.946 --> 00:26:40.106 Look, 00:26:40.146 --> 00:26:41.268 if you believe in anything from the 00:26:41.327 --> 00:26:42.127 mainstream, y'all, 00:26:42.508 --> 00:26:43.628 you need to be wrapped in the head 00:26:43.669 --> 00:26:45.410 with a tack hammer so you stop doing 00:26:45.450 --> 00:26:45.529 it. 00:26:45.990 --> 00:26:47.191 Because it's really, I mean, 00:26:47.451 --> 00:26:49.172 there is nothing they're telling you that 00:26:49.211 --> 00:26:49.952 is worthwhile. 00:26:51.113 --> 00:26:52.493 In fact, you're better off, 00:26:53.214 --> 00:26:54.776 going back to that front porch talk I 00:26:54.796 --> 00:26:54.996 did, 00:26:56.391 --> 00:26:57.912 You know, when you speak extemporaneously, 00:26:57.951 --> 00:26:59.172 it may not always come out the way 00:26:59.192 --> 00:26:59.551 you should. 00:26:59.613 --> 00:27:01.692 But honestly, looking back at it, 00:27:02.273 --> 00:27:03.913 you're probably almost always going to be 00:27:03.954 --> 00:27:05.214 better if you believe one hundred and 00:27:05.255 --> 00:27:06.955 eighty degrees and what they officially 00:27:06.976 --> 00:27:07.336 tell you. 00:27:07.955 --> 00:27:08.175 All right. 00:27:08.215 --> 00:27:09.017 So the last one here, 00:27:09.076 --> 00:27:10.557 five morning habits for a longer, 00:27:10.597 --> 00:27:12.557 healthier life, life, 00:27:12.838 --> 00:27:14.919 the conservative approach to wellness. 00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:16.700 All right. 00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:18.240 Some of these you may disagree with. 00:27:18.580 --> 00:27:19.882 And right off the first one, 00:27:19.922 --> 00:27:21.481 the power of a nutritious breakfast. 00:27:22.923 --> 00:27:24.203 Well, that's if you eat breakfast. 00:27:25.306 --> 00:27:27.227 Um, depending on what, you know, 00:27:27.287 --> 00:27:28.748 diet you're doing, like for example, 00:27:28.788 --> 00:27:30.428 tomorrow, um, 00:27:30.548 --> 00:27:33.169 last week I fasted for about forty hours. 00:27:33.250 --> 00:27:34.369 This week I'm going to do the very 00:27:34.410 --> 00:27:35.170 same thing again. 00:27:35.931 --> 00:27:37.631 So it'll be anywhere between thirty six to 00:27:37.671 --> 00:27:39.031 forty hours that I'm going to fast. 00:27:39.832 --> 00:27:40.752 So I'm not going to have a whole 00:27:40.772 --> 00:27:41.732 lot of breakfast in there. 00:27:41.752 --> 00:27:43.713 And when I do, usually I don't eat. 00:27:43.794 --> 00:27:45.154 I've been trying to kick it back a 00:27:45.174 --> 00:27:47.336 little bit because your mom says I'm not 00:27:47.395 --> 00:27:47.935 eating enough. 00:27:48.576 --> 00:27:50.057 So usually, I mean, 00:27:50.176 --> 00:27:52.318 I usually don't even eat until about noon, 00:27:52.358 --> 00:27:53.900 but I'm trying to push that back a 00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:54.259 little bit. 00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:54.619 So anyway, 00:27:55.099 --> 00:27:56.681 power of a nutritious breakfast. 00:27:57.241 --> 00:27:58.482 And you might want to consider eggs in 00:27:58.502 --> 00:27:59.042 that breakfast. 00:27:59.863 --> 00:28:02.744 Hydration as a weapon against toxins. 00:28:03.726 --> 00:28:04.566 I heard this from Dr. 00:28:04.586 --> 00:28:07.667 Brian Artis that I

really haven't. 00:38:26.429 --> 00:38:27.650 And look, 00:38:28.831 --> 00:38:31.413 the central idea of a mature permaculture 00:38:31.452 --> 00:38:32.353 system is that 00:38:34.951 --> 00:38:36.951 you should be replacing a lot of the 00:38:36.990 --> 00:38:38.012 things that you purchase. 00:38:38.751 --> 00:38:39.592 You really should. 00:38:40.452 --> 00:38:42.673 So if your farm needs more money, 00:38:42.713 --> 00:38:43.474 more fertilizer, 00:38:43.514 --> 00:38:45.394 more feed and fuel every single year to 00:38:45.434 --> 00:38:47.456 stay alive, you don't own a farm. 00:38:47.956 --> 00:38:49.376 You basically own a subscription. 00:38:50.150 --> 00:38:51.751 That's what you got because you're on the 00:38:51.791 --> 00:38:54.713 tip for everybody else in every single 00:38:54.733 --> 00:38:55.634 thing you're wanting to do. 00:38:55.673 --> 00:38:56.333 And like I said, 00:38:56.373 --> 00:38:57.815 I can't believe we haven't talked about 00:38:57.855 --> 00:38:58.355 this before. 00:38:59.014 --> 00:39:00.416 So I'm going to say right off the 00:39:00.436 --> 00:39:00.615 bat, 00:39:00.635 --> 00:39:03.097 my number one thing is the goal isn't 00:39:03.137 --> 00:39:04.597 necessarily higher production. 00:39:04.637 --> 00:39:05.818 Now, that may sound crazy. 00:39:06.759 --> 00:39:08.440 It's not necessarily higher production. 00:39:09.059 --> 00:39:10.280 It's lower dependence. 00:39:11.101 --> 00:39:13.021 Meaning, for example, 00:39:13.802 --> 00:39:15.063 these breast birds that I'm getting 00:39:15.083 --> 00:39:17.885 tomorrow, I'm trading honey for it. 00:39:18.552 --> 00:39:19.793 I got more honey than I know what 00:39:19.813 --> 00:39:20.333 to do with. 00:39:21.534 --> 00:39:22.876 Now, she was willing to trade honey. 00:39:22.896 --> 00:39:24.097 I'm going to have to actually give her 00:39:24.157 --> 00:39:26.659 cash because I was going to go out 00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:27.619 there and get the honey today. 00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:28.460 It didn't work out. 00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:29.840 Your mom had to go pick up the 00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:30.601 Azure order. 00:39:30.802 --> 00:39:32.023 And by the time she got back, 00:39:32.583 --> 00:39:33.523 put everything away. 00:39:33.684 --> 00:39:34.925 It was just too late in the day. 00:39:35.505 --> 00:39:37.126 And plus, we had to do this podcast. 00:39:37.746 --> 00:39:38.668 But like I said, 00:39:38.708 --> 00:39:40.889 the goal isn't necessarily higher 00:39:40.929 --> 00:39:41.389 production, 00:39:41.429 --> 00:39:43.572 although you want to try to get better 00:39:43.592 --> 00:39:43.952 and better. 00:39:44.572 --> 00:39:45.492 It's lower dependence. 00:39:45.532 --> 00:39:46.733 So I'll kick mine off with that. 00:39:47.443 --> 00:39:49.664 yeah first thing i'm i'm gonna say is 00:39:50.204 --> 00:39:52.985 don't just view it as like a uh 00:39:53.286 --> 00:39:55.025 monetary decrease don't just view it in 00:39:55.045 --> 00:39:56.367 the form of money view

it in the 00:39:56.387 --> 00:39:58.728 form of energy as time goes on your 00:39:58.748 --> 00:40:00.469 farm should become more and more efficient 00:40:00.949 --> 00:40:04.411 like causing or costing less calories per 00:40:04.971 --> 00:40:07.012 unit of yield you need a measurement of 00:40:07.072 --> 00:40:09.413 yield uh as time goes on so you 00:40:09.432 --> 00:40:11.534 should be coming which translates to your 00:40:11.554 --> 00:40:12.773 farm should be becoming more and more 00:40:12.813 --> 00:40:15.496 efficient as time goes on not less and 00:40:15.556 --> 00:40:16.155 less efficient 00:40:16.675 --> 00:40:17.976 Each square foot of your property should 00:40:18.016 --> 00:40:20.559 be growing more and more food as time 00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:21.000 goes on, 00:40:21.179 --> 00:40:22.701 which is the exact opposite of what 00:40:22.900 --> 00:40:25.043 mainstream commercial farming is right 00:40:25.083 --> 00:40:25.242 now. 00:40:25.623 --> 00:40:27.085 The corn crops, for example, 00:40:27.284 --> 00:40:29.186 get worse and worse each year using the 00:40:29.206 --> 00:40:30.867 conventional method because the soil gets 00:40:30.927 --> 00:40:31.907 worse and worse each year. 00:40:32.409 --> 00:40:34.329 If you do things correctly, you should... 00:40:35.090 --> 00:40:37.112 have better and better corn crops each 00:40:37.152 --> 00:40:39.713 year because you're building soil you're 00:40:40.054 --> 00:40:42.255 you're increasing the capacity of the soil 00:40:42.275 --> 00:40:44.476 you're increasing the what the soil can do 00:40:44.615 --> 00:40:46.177 on demand for the plants and everything 00:40:46.217 --> 00:40:47.657 it's going to hold on water better it's 00:40:47.677 --> 00:40:50.418 going to provide nutrients on demand 00:40:50.458 --> 00:40:52.360 better all those different things so you 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:54.300 should you and you should be building 00:40:54.380 --> 00:40:55.422 organic matter every year 00:40:55.842 --> 00:40:57.581 So those things are all gonna make each 00:40:57.601 --> 00:40:59.742 square foot produce a higher yield per, 00:41:00.003 --> 00:41:02.764 or create a higher yield per square foot 00:41:03.224 --> 00:41:05.264 and making it more and more and more 00:41:05.304 --> 00:41:05.744 efficient. 00:41:06.244 --> 00:41:07.585 Same thing with like your animal systems. 00:41:07.625 --> 00:41:08.465 You might start off, 00:41:09.065 --> 00:41:10.686 let's say with four sheep and you're 00:41:10.706 --> 00:41:13.045 moving those four sheep and you get to 00:41:13.065 --> 00:41:14.646 a point where those four sheep have 00:41:14.686 --> 00:41:15.067 babies. 00:41:15.606 --> 00:41:17.126 Now you're producing with the same amount 00:41:17.166 --> 00:41:18.708 of effort, putting up the same fence, 00:41:18.987 --> 00:41:21.748 moving them the same schedule you did last 00:41:21.768 --> 00:41:21.987 year. 00:41:22.849 --> 00:41:24.349 You're producing more meat 00:41:25.048 --> 00:41:26.610 utilizing

the same amount of calories. 00:41:26.670 --> 00:41:28.990 It doesn't cost you any more calories to 00:41:30.030 --> 00:41:30.771 move the fence. 00:41:30.831 --> 00:41:31.911 It's not like you have to move each 00:41:31.972 --> 00:41:33.592 animal individually on their own different 00:41:33.612 --> 00:41:33.952 system. 00:41:34.193 --> 00:41:35.492 They're all moving at the same time. 00:41:35.913 --> 00:41:36.693 But keep in mind, 00:41:36.713 --> 00:41:39.394 you get to a point where your stocking 00:41:39.434 --> 00:41:41.436 density is to a point where your land 00:41:41.476 --> 00:41:44.016 can't handle the stocking density that you 00:41:44.056 --> 00:41:44.376 have. 00:41:44.797 --> 00:41:46.878 So then you should titrate back because 00:41:47.217 --> 00:41:48.778 that's another form of energy that you're 00:41:48.798 --> 00:41:49.378 going to have to hire 00:41:49.659 --> 00:41:51.541 for the farm in the form of purchasing 00:41:51.581 --> 00:41:53.161 hay or grain or whatever it may be, 00:41:53.742 --> 00:41:54.682 that's what you want to avoid. 00:41:54.702 --> 00:41:56.344 So you want to find that sweet spot 00:41:56.385 --> 00:41:57.224 where, and, 00:41:57.445 --> 00:41:59.206 and build up to that sweet spot where 00:41:59.487 --> 00:42:00.827 you're not having to, your, 00:42:01.009 --> 00:42:03.230 your stocking density is high enough and 00:42:03.271 --> 00:42:04.311 the land can manage it. 00:42:04.452 --> 00:42:06.753 And you're not having to buy any, uh, 00:42:06.793 --> 00:42:08.554 outside energy inputs basically. 00:42:09.577 --> 00:42:10.597 Yeah, good stuff, son. 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:13.201 This next one here is, 00:42:14.461 --> 00:42:16.164 it was inspired from what we did this 00:42:16.204 --> 00:42:16.643 weekend. 00:42:17.405 --> 00:42:18.545 Michelle, for a birthday, 00:42:18.565 --> 00:42:19.547 wanted to go to the orchard. 00:42:20.188 --> 00:42:21.489 So that's exactly what we did. 00:42:21.509 --> 00:42:22.269 And by the way, 00:42:22.329 --> 00:42:24.391 for anybody that's living up here in North 00:42:24.552 --> 00:42:25.432 Cackalacky, 00:42:25.853 --> 00:42:27.414 especially in the western side, man, 00:42:27.454 --> 00:42:29.336 they got those ludicrous baffles. 00:42:29.958 --> 00:42:31.219 I know Ken and Amy are in here, 00:42:31.259 --> 00:42:31.500 man. 00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:32.481 Granddad's Orchard. 00:42:33.327 --> 00:42:33.568 Look, 00:42:33.967 --> 00:42:35.869 I said before the Evercrisp was the best 00:42:35.909 --> 00:42:36.588 thing out there, 00:42:36.728 --> 00:42:40.250 but I think these Ludicrisp actually taste 00:42:40.610 --> 00:42:41.751 even better. 00:42:42.150 --> 00:42:43.351 And we got a whole gang of them. 00:42:43.371 --> 00:42:45.291 I'm going to freeze dry some for my 00:42:45.311 --> 00:42:45.791 grandbaby. 00:42:46.351 --> 00:42:48.052 So, yeah, son, 00:42:48.092 --> 00:42:49.612 you guys are going to be – hopefully 00:42:49.652 --> 00:42:50.853 we got some by the time you get 00:42:50.893 --> 00:42:51.034 here. 00:42:51.094 --> 00:42:53.594 But, yeah, so anyway, 00:42:53.614 --> 00:42:54.954 we got these Ludicrisp apples, 00:42:55.715 --> 00:42:57.956 and I recorded a short video while we 00:42:57.976 --> 00:42:58.376 were there. 00:42:59.275 --> 00:43:01.577 And I was looking around because this is 00:43:01.617 --> 00:43:03.697 the same orchard that I went over there 00:43:03.717 --> 00:43:05.197 back when we had pigs and everything else. 00:43:05.739 --> 00:43:07.099 You could fill, I could, 00:43:07.318 --> 00:43:08.260 at granddad's orchard, 00:43:08.579 --> 00:43:10.920 I could fill my truck up at least 00:43:11.001 --> 00:43:13.400 a hundred times and still not even come 00:43:13.501 --> 00:43:15.601 close to all the apples that are on 00:43:15.621 --> 00:43:17.123 the ground and they will let you do 00:43:17.182 --> 00:43:17.242 it. 00:43:19.059 --> 00:43:20.320 in, well, 00:43:20.940 --> 00:43:23.061 notwithstanding some idiotic Marchie 00:43:23.681 --> 00:43:24.262 walking around, 00:43:24.322 --> 00:43:25.583 not minding their own business, 00:43:26.123 --> 00:43:27.342 wondering why, you know, 00:43:27.362 --> 00:43:28.324 you're doing what you're doing. 00:43:28.623 --> 00:43:29.003 Um, that's, 00:43:29.103 --> 00:43:30.485 that's a whole nother story on together, 00:43:30.525 --> 00:43:33.626 but stop buying animal field, animal food, 00:43:33.686 --> 00:43:35.827 when you can create relationships that 00:43:35.847 --> 00:43:36.807 could feed those animals. 00:43:36.827 --> 00:43:38.929 And that's another thing I'm talking 00:43:38.969 --> 00:43:39.150 about. 00:43:39.190 --> 00:43:40.429 So let's say you're new to this place 00:43:40.469 --> 00:43:42.070 or you're new to the methods that we 00:43:42.110 --> 00:43:42.590 talk about. 00:43:43.291 --> 00:43:43.512 Well, 00:43:44.570 --> 00:43:46.952 You got omnivores, even if you're sheep. 00:43:46.992 --> 00:43:47.211 I mean, 00:43:47.231 --> 00:43:48.693 they will put a herd on them apples 00:43:48.713 --> 00:43:49.594 if they can get a hold of them 00:43:49.634 --> 00:43:50.014 as well. 00:43:50.813 --> 00:43:52.894 You know, pigs, chickens, 00:43:53.094 --> 00:43:54.096 whatever the case may be. 00:43:54.815 --> 00:43:56.016 You can mash those things up. 00:43:56.097 --> 00:43:57.297 You can put them in your compost. 00:43:57.317 --> 00:43:58.737 There's a whole lot of different stuff you 00:43:58.777 --> 00:43:59.438 can do with them. 00:44:00.278 --> 00:44:01.659 And people are going out there spending 00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:04.161 the money at Tractor Supply when you could 00:44:04.181 --> 00:44:05.280 go down there and say, okay, 00:44:05.300 --> 00:44:06.242 I'm going to pick up some of these 00:44:06.282 --> 00:44:08.043 ludicrous apples Billy's talking about, 00:44:08.603 --> 00:44:09.563 and I'm going to fill up the whole 00:44:09.603 --> 00:44:10.923 back of my truck with these apples to 00:44:10.943 --> 00:44:12.144 feed these chickens

anyway, 00:46:57.364 --> 00:46:57.806 but go ahead. 00:46:58.342 --> 00:46:58.641 Gotcha. 00:46:59.063 --> 00:46:59.402 Yeah. 00:46:59.422 --> 00:46:59.862 You have to, 00:46:59.943 --> 00:47:01.784 you have to actually take records and do 00:47:01.804 --> 00:47:02.644 the math maybe. 00:47:03.164 --> 00:47:05.407 And it's a pain because like, 00:47:05.447 --> 00:47:06.588 if you're in the garden and you go 00:47:06.628 --> 00:47:07.708 harvest a bunch of cucumbers, 00:47:08.148 --> 00:47:09.730 you just harvested a bunch of cucumbers. 00:47:09.769 --> 00:47:10.851 The season that you did it in, 00:47:10.891 --> 00:47:12.632 it was probably, if you live around here, 00:47:12.652 --> 00:47:14.052 it was probably pretty, 00:47:14.112 --> 00:47:15.213 pretty miserable outside. 00:47:15.273 --> 00:47:17.014 Then you got to process the harvest before 00:47:17.034 --> 00:47:17.574 it goes bad. 00:47:17.875 --> 00:47:19.315 And you got to do all these things. 00:47:20.197 --> 00:47:21.918 just to make sure you can actually utilize 00:47:21.938 --> 00:47:22.458 your harvest. 00:47:22.898 --> 00:47:24.280 And now you're adding another thing, 00:47:24.981 --> 00:47:25.740 keeping records. 00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:28.083 But with that little addition of time, 00:47:28.543 --> 00:47:29.264 I know it's a pain. 00:47:29.483 --> 00:47:31.025 We did it at Jeff Lawton's when I 00:47:31.045 --> 00:47:31.405 was there. 00:47:32.525 --> 00:47:33.146 It was a pain, 00:47:33.306 --> 00:47:35.387 but we knew exactly how much we were 00:47:35.427 --> 00:47:37.530 producing and if we were doing better or 00:47:37.550 --> 00:47:38.550 if we were doing worse. 00:47:38.990 --> 00:47:39.670 So yeah, 00:47:39.710 --> 00:47:41.331 you have to actually sit down and actually 00:47:41.371 --> 00:47:41.992 do the math. 00:47:42.898 --> 00:47:43.117 Yeah, 00:47:43.137 --> 00:47:44.139 the next one I'm going to say is 00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.400 perennials beat annual dependency any day 00:47:46.420 --> 00:47:46.820 of the week. 00:47:47.561 --> 00:47:49.641 And if you're new to that concept, 00:47:50.202 --> 00:47:51.724 maybe seriously consider it because 00:47:51.884 --> 00:47:53.804 orchards, berries, nuts, fodder trees, 00:47:53.864 --> 00:47:55.445 perennial shrubs, herbs, 00:47:56.206 --> 00:47:57.646 all those things are a gift that keep 00:47:57.746 --> 00:47:58.208 on giving. 00:47:59.108 --> 00:48:01.250 And for years, I was complaining. 00:48:01.429 --> 00:48:01.951 I was like, 00:48:02.110 --> 00:48:04.253 I don't understand why all these 00:48:04.313 --> 00:48:07.454 homesteaders just concentrate completely. 00:48:07.615 --> 00:48:10.257 I know everybody for years was doing a 00:48:10.277 --> 00:48:12.099 lot of copying from whatever Justin Rhodes 00:48:12.139 --> 00:48:12.579 was doing. 00:48:13.179 --> 00:48:13.800 And I was like, man, 00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:16.242 you guys are missing perennials big time. 00:48:16.862 --> 00:48:18.083 I mean, annuals are great. 00:48:18.164 --> 00:48:18.465 Yeah, 00:48:18.485 --> 00:48:19.925 I like my tomatoes just like everybody 00:48:19.945 --> 00:48:20.085 else. 00:48:20.106 --> 00:48:22.027 But there's also a perennial tomato that 00:48:22.047 --> 00:48:24.090 we got up here called Tommy Toes. 00:48:24.769 --> 00:48:26.291 There's all these perennial things. 00:48:27.195 --> 00:48:29.159 that if you ever found yourself infirmed 00:48:29.219 --> 00:48:31.661 or in a bad way, or, you know, 00:48:31.722 --> 00:48:32.744 the world's falling apart, 00:48:32.784 --> 00:48:34.226 like it seems to be doing right now, 00:48:34.907 --> 00:48:35.186 well, 00:48:36.021 --> 00:48:37.561 That's why I love apples so much. 00:48:38.182 --> 00:48:39.804 Because if you pick the right, 00:48:39.824 --> 00:48:40.284 for example, 00:48:40.304 --> 00:48:41.925 let's say you got an Arkansas black apple 00:48:42.005 --> 00:48:42.365 out there. 00:48:42.865 --> 00:48:44.027 You pick that bad boy. 00:48:44.527 --> 00:48:46.128 It ain't wonderful when you first eat it. 00:48:46.670 --> 00:48:48.311 But eat it about three to six months 00:48:48.371 --> 00:48:48.670 later, 00:48:48.791 --> 00:48:50.231 and it's going to have a different flavor 00:48:50.271 --> 00:48:51.353 profile altogether. 00:48:51.893 --> 00:48:54.034 There are apples that store extremely 00:48:54.054 --> 00:48:54.315 well. 00:48:54.396 --> 00:48:56.536 In fact, there was an old book. 00:48:56.677 --> 00:48:57.757 In fact, we got it downstairs. 00:48:57.777 --> 00:48:59.619 It's called Old Southern Apples by Lee 00:48:59.659 --> 00:49:00.199 Calhoun. 00:49:00.260 --> 00:49:01.260 He's passed on now, 00:49:01.762 --> 00:49:04.364 but his orchard lives beyond it. 00:49:05.237 --> 00:49:08.141 And he describes in that book that back 00:49:08.181 --> 00:49:09.905 in the day, in the South, 00:49:10.713 --> 00:49:13.275 The slaves would take these apples and 00:49:13.315 --> 00:49:14.594 they would put them on the tin roof 00:49:14.614 --> 00:49:15.614 of wherever they were living. 00:49:16.036 --> 00:49:16.795 They would slice them up, 00:49:16.815 --> 00:49:18.076 put them on top of that tin roof, 00:49:18.155 --> 00:49:19.617 and they could eat those things forever in 00:49:19.637 --> 00:49:19.996 a day. 00:49:20.657 --> 00:49:22.277 And they were choosing apples based on 00:49:22.336 --> 00:49:25.038 flavor, longevity, how well it dried, 00:49:25.657 --> 00:49:26.659 all those kinds of things, 00:49:26.759 --> 00:49:28.139 things that we don't even consider these 00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:28.418 days. 00:49:28.878 --> 00:49:29.438 But honestly, 00:49:29.518 --> 00:49:31.920 perennials beat annuals any day of the 00:49:31.940 --> 00:49:32.900 week if you got them, 00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:34.840 especially in terms of fruit. 00:49:35.541 --> 00:49:37.021 It is like getting money from home without 00:49:37.521 --> 00:49:37.942 writing. 00:49:38.103 --> 00:49:38.782 And honestly, 00:49:38.802 --> 00:49:40.023 if you can set that up

where they 00:49:40.063 --> 00:49:42.085 work with your animal systems, yeah, 00:49:42.105 --> 00:49:43.565 you want to be careful about what access 00:49:43.585 --> 00:49:44.365 you give to them, 00:49:45.206 --> 00:49:47.307 but it could also provide shade. 00:49:47.568 --> 00:49:48.688 It could provide fodder, 00:49:48.728 --> 00:49:50.128 depending on how you set that thing up. 00:49:50.570 --> 00:49:52.471 It can be providing a whole lot for 00:49:52.510 --> 00:49:53.530 your animals out there, 00:49:54.192 --> 00:49:56.132 but it goes back to design. 00:49:56.193 --> 00:49:57.494 So like William said earlier, 00:49:57.634 --> 00:49:58.414 but in another way, 00:49:58.494 --> 00:49:59.635 make sure you put pen to paper. 00:50:00.514 --> 00:50:00.775 Now, 00:50:01.315 --> 00:50:02.775 because there's a couple of comments in 00:50:02.815 --> 00:50:05.677 the chat, I think Colleen was saying, 00:50:05.737 --> 00:50:07.378 I'd love to grow some ludicrous apples. 00:50:07.398 --> 00:50:09.099 I wonder if they'd grow up here in 00:50:09.179 --> 00:50:09.719 North Idaho. 00:50:09.739 --> 00:50:11.179 And then Lydia said, I just checked. 00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:12.699 They need four hundred chill hours. 00:50:14.420 --> 00:50:16.061 So, Colleen, knowing where you live, 00:50:16.601 --> 00:50:18.762 like in on a mountain in Idaho, 00:50:19.543 --> 00:50:20.143 keep in mind, 00:50:20.242 --> 00:50:22.043 you can utilize the microclimates on your 00:50:22.103 --> 00:50:24.284 property to accommodate weather. 00:50:25.302 --> 00:50:25.981 to an extent, 00:50:26.382 --> 00:50:28.023 accommodate what that particular tree is 00:50:28.063 --> 00:50:28.463 going to need. 00:50:28.603 --> 00:50:28.923 Also, 00:50:29.164 --> 00:50:31.804 everybody check out Flominton Famous. 00:50:32.204 --> 00:50:33.786 If you saw that four hundred chill hours 00:50:33.826 --> 00:50:35.186 or heard that four hundred chill hours, 00:50:35.547 --> 00:50:36.967 you probably just immediately was like, 00:50:37.128 --> 00:50:38.807 oh, I'm definitely not growing that. 00:50:39.128 --> 00:50:40.409 But if you check out Flominton Famous, 00:50:40.449 --> 00:50:41.929 he did a video on a guy who 00:50:41.949 --> 00:50:44.431 was forcing dormancy on apple trees in 00:50:44.471 --> 00:50:46.092 Florida, which I think is really neat. 00:50:46.112 --> 00:50:48.052 And you probably don't want to do it 00:50:48.072 --> 00:50:50.474 at scale, but it's definitely worth it. 00:50:50.934 --> 00:50:52.615 the tree's worth it those apples are 00:50:53.077 --> 00:50:55.900 delicious but keep in mind that those uh 00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:57.561 ludicrous apples do not have much of a 00:50:57.601 --> 00:51:00.003 shelf life they definitely go bad faster 00:51:00.023 --> 00:51:02.447 than uh the other apples like the ones 00:51:02.467 --> 00:51:04.528 we got last year the ever chris do 00:51:04.568 --> 00:51:06.731 last a while though so that's that you 00:51:06.751 --> 00:51:07.873 still got to go with the ever chris 00:51:07.913 --> 00:51:09.755 but as far as flavor mandem ludicrous 00:51:09.994 --> 00:51:10.596 tough to beat 00:51:11.041 --> 00:51:11.481 Yeah. 00:51:11.681 --> 00:51:13.242 Uh, my next point is, um, 00:51:13.804 --> 00:51:14.925 since we're talking about trees, uh, 00:51:15.606 --> 00:51:17.306 so whenever you first building your farm, 00:51:17.547 --> 00:51:19.248 putting in perennials, uh, 00:51:19.710 --> 00:51:20.409 like dad was saying, 00:51:20.570 --> 00:51:22.972 like the initial work is all up front 00:51:23.012 --> 00:51:24.775 and then you harvest and keep harvesting 00:51:24.914 --> 00:51:25.394 after that. 00:51:26.036 --> 00:51:26.155 Um, 00:51:27.056 --> 00:51:27.958 Instead of like, 00:51:27.998 --> 00:51:29.778 let's say you're wanting to expand, 00:51:29.958 --> 00:51:31.760 like you get on the property first, 00:51:31.780 --> 00:51:33.320 you put in a couple of trees and 00:51:33.340 --> 00:51:34.922 now you're wanting to expand those trees. 00:51:34.981 --> 00:51:36.202 Maybe you have a couple of favorites from 00:51:36.242 --> 00:51:38.704 those trees or some of them maybe just 00:51:38.784 --> 00:51:40.724 not doing too well or producing as much 00:51:40.744 --> 00:51:42.025 as you thought and you need to increase 00:51:42.065 --> 00:51:43.106 production or something like that. 00:51:43.467 --> 00:51:44.746 Instead of buying trees, 00:51:44.786 --> 00:51:47.028 you now have stock on your property. 00:51:47.389 --> 00:51:48.208 Worst case scenario, 00:51:48.248 --> 00:51:49.789 you might need to buy some root stock 00:51:50.289 --> 00:51:51.070 if you don't have that, 00:51:51.710 --> 00:51:53.572 unless the tree is like, you know, 00:51:53.612 --> 00:51:55.032 true to seed and it's not grafted to 00:51:55.092 --> 00:51:56.213 anything or anything like that. 00:51:56.414 --> 00:51:56.514 Um, 00:51:56.873 --> 00:51:58.255 but you might just be out of the 00:51:58.295 --> 00:52:00.255 price of roost stock as opposed to a 00:52:00.335 --> 00:52:02.657 whole new tree to expand your orchard. 00:52:02.677 --> 00:52:04.059 So learn skill, 00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:06.719 the skill of like grafting or propagation, 00:52:06.920 --> 00:52:08.942 depending on the plants you have and, uh, 00:52:09.081 --> 00:52:10.663 utilize what you've already purchased that 00:52:10.722 --> 00:52:12.324 first year or that first purchase, 00:52:12.463 --> 00:52:15.244 utilize that to expand afterwards. 00:52:15.445 --> 00:52:17.226 And if you wanted to, uh, 00:52:17.266 --> 00:52:18.927 you could graph for other people and then 00:52:18.967 --> 00:52:20.228 make your money back from the initial 00:52:20.268 --> 00:52:21.929 purchase by selling trees if you wanted 00:52:21.969 --> 00:52:22.130 to. 00:52:22.489 --> 00:52:24.451 So piggybacking off what dad was saying 00:52:24.471 --> 00:52:25.871 with the perennials, you, 00:52:26.152 --> 00:52:28.952 Planting perennials for one is definitely 00:52:28.972 --> 00:52:31.934 going to

00:55:59.940 --> 00:56:01.420 I'm going to get hay from somebody else 00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:02.161 that wants to sell it. 00:56:02.201 --> 00:56:03.481 I'm going to take their input, 00:56:03.521 --> 00:56:04.442 their fertility, 00:56:04.983 --> 00:56:06.244 and I'm going to add it to mine. 00:56:06.784 --> 00:56:07.885 And it's only going to improve. 00:56:08.385 --> 00:56:08.864 Right now, 00:56:09.284 --> 00:56:11.146 leaves are falling here in Western North 00:56:11.166 --> 00:56:11.646 Carolina. 00:56:12.967 --> 00:56:14.487 I will, next time I go to town, 00:56:14.648 --> 00:56:15.829 I guarantee I'll drive down these 00:56:15.869 --> 00:56:16.889 residential neighborhoods. 00:56:16.909 --> 00:56:18.190 They're going to do all the work for 00:56:18.210 --> 00:56:18.311 me. 00:56:20.056 --> 00:56:21.237 I'm going to fill up the entire back 00:56:21.257 --> 00:56:22.737 of that truck with a bunch of leaves 00:56:22.777 --> 00:56:24.398 that somebody else gathered for me, 00:56:24.998 --> 00:56:25.858 and I'm going to put them in the 00:56:25.898 --> 00:56:29.199 compost pile over and over and over again. 00:56:29.219 --> 00:56:30.559 There's so many different ways you can go 00:56:30.579 --> 00:56:31.099 about this. 00:56:32.260 --> 00:56:32.900 Wood chips. 00:56:33.460 --> 00:56:35.940 There's a source next to me where there's 00:56:35.981 --> 00:56:38.322 probably a thousand cubic yards. 00:56:38.382 --> 00:56:39.481 I

don't even know how much is over 00:56:39.501 --> 00:56:39.601 there. 00:56:39.621 --> 00:56:40.762 They've been doing it for years. 00:56:41.501 --> 00:56:43.882 And I'll use that fertility and dress my 00:56:43.922 --> 00:56:44.643 trees with that. 00:56:45.224 --> 00:56:46.204 That's about, I mean, 00:56:46.844 --> 00:56:47.666 those are all things. 00:56:48.465 --> 00:56:50.706 And considering the price of gas right 00:56:50.746 --> 00:56:52.108 now, folks, 00:56:52.128 --> 00:56:53.548 I'm not making any special trips. 00:56:54.128 --> 00:56:55.250 These are things I'm going to do when 00:56:55.289 --> 00:56:55.931 I'm already out. 00:56:56.650 --> 00:56:58.251 And while I'm out, I'm like, okay, well, 00:56:58.271 --> 00:57:00.733 I'll fill up a bunch of buckets and 00:57:00.773 --> 00:57:01.833 I'll take this home with me. 00:57:02.454 --> 00:57:03.074 So, you know, 00:57:03.114 --> 00:57:04.655 you want to make sure you stack functions, 00:57:04.735 --> 00:57:05.556 especially now. 00:57:06.257 --> 00:57:06.637 Go ahead, son. 00:57:06.677 --> 00:57:06.777 Yeah. 00:57:07.219 --> 00:57:08.800 you know something interesting that has 00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:11.081 been going on this whole podcast and i'm 00:57:11.262 --> 00:57:13.003 i'm just now bringing it up but my 00:57:13.083 --> 00:57:16.005 microphone keeps getting kicked off um it 00:57:16.025 --> 00:57:19.226 keeps getting which i think is if this 00:57:19.246 --> 00:57:20.588 was the only thing that they did to 00:57:20.648 --> 00:57:22.148 us digitally then it probably wouldn't 00:57:22.168 --> 00:57:24.090 stand out but the fact that i'm not 00:57:24.130 --> 00:57:26.172 touching any cord bumping the computer at 00:57:26.231 --> 00:57:27.693 all not touching any of that but my 00:57:27.733 --> 00:57:29.253 microphone keeps getting switched off 00:57:30.014 --> 00:57:32.016 or over to a different microphone is a 00:57:32.115 --> 00:57:32.775 bit odd. 00:57:33.936 --> 00:57:35.338 But my last one is, 00:57:36.278 --> 00:57:38.340 so as you progress on your farm, 00:57:38.900 --> 00:57:40.360 at first you're going to be pretty clumsy 00:57:40.762 --> 00:57:41.481 and, you know, 00:57:41.762 --> 00:57:43.262 bumbling around and trying to find a 00:57:43.302 --> 00:57:43.563 rhythm, 00:57:43.603 --> 00:57:45.043 trying to find a groove and trying to 00:57:45.063 --> 00:57:47.905 find an efficient way to do everything and 00:57:47.925 --> 00:57:48.887 to manage everything. 00:57:49.206 --> 00:57:50.648 As you, as time goes on, 00:57:51.068 --> 00:57:52.989 you'll get better and better at it and 00:57:53.289 --> 00:57:54.610 more efficient at it as well. 00:57:55.090 --> 00:57:57.592 Those things that you use in that process 00:57:57.632 --> 00:57:57.753 are, 00:57:58.851 --> 00:58:00.913 You should probably learn how to repair. 00:58:00.972 --> 00:58:01.833 Like, for example, 00:58:01.873 --> 00:58:03.434 if you use like a four wheeler, 00:58:03.534 --> 00:58:05.356 let's say you're in pretty rough terrain. 00:58:05.735 --> 00:58:06.836 You need a four wheeler to get from 00:58:06.876 --> 00:58:08.458 point A to point B efficiently. 00:58:09.219 --> 00:58:11.300 You should probably learn how to work on 00:58:11.320 --> 00:58:12.041 that four wheeler. 00:58:12.900 --> 00:58:14.483 Same thing with like any kind of tractors 00:58:14.543 --> 00:58:16.704 or implements that you use on the tractor. 00:58:17.724 --> 00:58:18.846 I know a ton of people have side 00:58:18.885 --> 00:58:19.666 by sides right now. 00:58:19.967 --> 00:58:21.947 Those things for sure will break. 00:58:22.088 --> 00:58:23.969 It's not if it's just when it's going 00:58:23.989 --> 00:58:24.730 to break those things. 00:58:25.130 --> 00:58:26.331 You think they'd make them a little bit 00:58:26.391 --> 00:58:27.032 more durable, 00:58:27.112 --> 00:58:28.092 but it seems like people's 00:58:28.713 --> 00:58:29.855 Every time I know somebody who has a 00:58:29.894 --> 00:58:32.438 side-by-side other than one, John and Amy, 00:58:33.739 --> 00:58:36.083 they are always either in the shop or 00:58:36.123 --> 00:58:37.644 just got repaired or being fixed or 00:58:37.684 --> 00:58:38.346 something like that. 00:58:39.686 --> 00:58:42.951 Learning how to repair what you use or 00:58:43.010 --> 00:58:45.414 what you have is going to make it... 00:58:46.735 --> 00:58:46.996 you know, 00:58:47.195 --> 00:58:48.757 cost less and less on your property. 00:58:49.056 --> 00:58:50.217 So instead of having to like, 00:58:50.237 --> 00:58:51.097 let's say something broke, 00:58:51.157 --> 00:58:53.199 instead of having to, you know, 00:58:53.239 --> 00:58:54.119 go and buy a new one, 00:58:54.260 --> 00:58:55.601 you just know how to fix it yourself. 00:58:56.001 --> 00:58:57.961 Even if it's something like a local shop 00:58:57.981 --> 00:58:59.583 won't handle or deal with. 00:59:00.003 --> 00:59:02.164 Also learning those abilities is, 00:59:02.364 --> 00:59:04.585 makes any new equipment you need to buy 00:59:04.844 --> 00:59:06.885 cheaper because you can buy the broken, 00:59:06.945 --> 00:59:07.545 disassembled, 00:59:07.585 --> 00:59:10.146 or there might be something simple that's 00:59:10.166 --> 00:59:10.666 wrong with it. 00:59:10.706 --> 00:59:12.166 You can buy that at a discount, 00:59:12.427 --> 00:59:14.228 fix it, and then utilize it yourself, 00:59:14.248 --> 00:59:15.907 which is going to be far cheaper than 00:59:15.967 --> 00:59:17.188 buying anything brand new. 00:59:18.708 --> 00:59:19.028 And yeah, 00:59:19.409 --> 00:59:20.650 and let's say you also did the math 00:59:20.730 --> 00:59:22.730 on renting versus purchasing and you found 00:59:22.789 --> 00:59:23.271 out, okay, 00:59:23.331 --> 00:59:24.990 purchasing for me is going to be cheaper 00:59:25.010 --> 00:59:25.590 in the long run. 00:59:25.990 --> 00:59:27.251 Then you should definitely learn how to 00:59:27.692 --> 00:59:29.672 repair or find somebody around you that 00:59:29.693 -->

00:59:30.813 knows how to repair these things. 00:59:31.721 --> 00:59:33.041 Well, at the same time, son, 00:59:33.503 --> 00:59:35.764 I remember long before side-by-sides came 00:59:35.864 --> 00:59:36.025 out. 00:59:36.545 --> 00:59:38.208 Now, where we live here in the mountains, 00:59:38.228 --> 00:59:40.590 yeah, that's probably pretty darn handy. 00:59:41.110 --> 00:59:42.672 But there's a whole lot of people that 00:59:42.711 --> 00:59:43.974 are buying those things for status 00:59:43.994 --> 00:59:44.373 symbols. 00:59:44.954 --> 00:59:46.335 It is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. 00:59:46.916 --> 00:59:48.277 And people are spending more money on 00:59:48.297 --> 00:59:50.059 these things than I've spent on any of 00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:50.719 my vehicles. 00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:53.523 And I'm like, are you kidding me? 00:59:54.403 --> 00:59:54.643 And... 00:59:55.612 --> 00:59:57.132 These are people that could farm, 00:59:57.353 --> 00:59:58.753 you know, for years and years and years. 00:59:58.773 --> 01:00:00.815 We got by just on a two-wheel drive 01:00:00.835 --> 01:00:01.155 truck, 01:00:01.835 --> 01:00:03.336 especially if you're living in Kansas, 01:00:03.396 --> 01:00:04.177 Oklahoma, Texas. 01:00:04.697 --> 01:00:06.197 But they got to have a side-by-side. 01:00:06.237 --> 01:00:08.039 And Greg Judy talked about that as well, 01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:09.981 that people would go out there and spend 01:00:10.001 --> 01:00:11.221 a pile of money on a bunch of 01:00:11.260 --> 01:00:12.322 garbage they don't need. 01:00:12.961 --> 01:00:14.422 I know some people that bought two 01:00:14.463 --> 01:00:16.864 side-by-sides, and you could get by, 01:00:16.925 --> 01:00:18.405 you could do everything right there on a 01:00:18.445 --> 01:00:18.766 truck. 01:00:19.346 --> 01:00:20.327 So, okay, 01:00:20.507 --> 01:00:22.467 we're talking about expenses here. 01:00:22.708 --> 01:00:24.369 and stupid expenses like i said here in 01:00:24.389 --> 01:00:27.309 the mountains yeah this it would 01:00:27.510 --> 01:00:29.891 absolutely serve us very very well where 01:00:29.931 --> 01:00:32.672 we live but i ain't going in debt 01:00:32.693 --> 01:00:34.534 for one if i don't have the cash 01:00:34.574 --> 01:00:36.375 which i don't if i don't have the 01:00:36.394 --> 01:00:38.896 cash to get one i ain't getting one 01:00:39.536 --> 01:00:41.197 there are certain things in this world i 01:00:41.217 --> 01:00:42.597 just will not go i mean we've been 01:00:42.637 --> 01:00:45.458 doing it with my bmws and those are 01:00:45.518 --> 01:00:47.980 boots made for walking been doing that for 01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:49.900 a little while so i'm just going to 01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:51.322 keep on doing it until um 01:00:52.121 --> 01:00:53.103 We can afford to get one. 01:00:54.123 --> 01:00:55.844 On that note, Dad, with the tractor, 01:00:55.864 --> 01:00:56.965 with your guys' land, 01:00:58.467 --> 01:01:00.929 a tractor still doesn't make sense

for 01:01:00.969 --> 01:01:01.250 you. 01:01:01.670 --> 01:01:04.192 What makes more sense would be a 01:01:04.251 --> 01:01:06.773 four-wheeler or a side-by-side or even 01:01:06.813 --> 01:01:08.315 maybe, like you've said in the past, 01:01:08.335 --> 01:01:09.356 a golf cart. 01:01:09.396 --> 01:01:10.637 If it's a four-wheeler or a side-by-side, 01:01:10.677 --> 01:01:13.820 then you could pull stuff behind it and 01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:16.242 utilize any implements and stuff like that 01:01:16.262 --> 01:01:17.844 for that. 01:01:18.043 --> 01:01:19.644 There are a ton of people who buy 01:01:19.684 --> 01:01:20.106 tractors 01:01:20.626 --> 01:01:22.666 where the tractor is barely used on a 01:01:22.686 --> 01:01:25.188 farm, used well on a farm. 01:01:25.228 --> 01:01:27.088 They'll use it from, at that point, 01:01:27.130 --> 01:01:28.309 at the point they get a tractor, 01:01:28.510 --> 01:01:30.251 they're probably going to use that solely 01:01:30.471 --> 01:01:32.231 for transportation and no longer walk on 01:01:32.271 --> 01:01:32.632 the farm. 01:01:32.932 --> 01:01:34.472 That's another thing that happens. 01:01:34.574 --> 01:01:36.434 But there's a lot of people who have 01:01:36.474 --> 01:01:37.855 tractors where the tractor doesn't even 01:01:37.894 --> 01:01:38.215 apply. 01:01:38.235 --> 01:01:39.655 They would have been far better off with 01:01:39.695 --> 01:01:40.456 a different implement. 01:01:40.556 --> 01:01:42.197 But there's so many people who have it 01:01:42.237 --> 01:01:43.458 in their mind that if they're going to 01:01:43.498 --> 01:01:45.900 be a farmer, in quotes, 01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:47.239 then they have to have a tractor, 01:01:47.260 --> 01:01:48.460 that they have to have these certain 01:01:48.501 --> 01:01:48.760 things. 01:01:48.880 --> 01:01:50.141 Otherwise, they're not a real farmer. 01:01:51.215 --> 01:01:52.757 Yeah, and a lot of times, 01:01:52.876 --> 01:01:54.298 especially in the South, man, 01:01:54.458 --> 01:01:56.581 it is all through Oklahoma, Texas, 01:01:56.641 --> 01:01:58.505 and even Kansas to a certain extent. 01:01:59.706 --> 01:02:01.226 Everybody's trying to one-up everybody 01:02:01.327 --> 01:02:02.907 else when it comes to the boat, 01:02:03.347 --> 01:02:04.407 the side-by-side. 01:02:04.507 --> 01:02:05.907 And these are people buying this stuff. 01:02:05.927 --> 01:02:07.987 You're going in debt over some nonsense. 01:02:08.849 --> 01:02:10.528 And it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. 01:02:10.648 --> 01:02:14.449 But there are YouTube channels of guys, 01:02:14.710 --> 01:02:15.809 I don't like either one of them, 01:02:16.429 --> 01:02:18.449 that are in Oklahoma and Texas. 01:02:20.110 --> 01:02:21.391 I won't even say who they are, 01:02:21.451 --> 01:02:23.070 but I can't stand them because every time 01:02:23.110 --> 01:02:25.610 you turn around, it's a consumptive thing. 01:02:25.650 --> 01:02:26.172 Like, oh, 01:02:26.231 --> 01:02:28.072 look at this new thing I got here. 01:02:28.911 --> 01:02:29.612 I ain't jealous. 01:02:29.773 --> 01:02:30.675 I don't dislike it. 01:02:30.735 --> 01:02:32.297 I'm just saying it's a stupid thing to 01:02:32.336 --> 01:02:34.701 teach people because you don't need it in 01:02:34.721 --> 01:02:35.422 a lot of cases. 01:02:35.601 --> 01:02:36.943 Or you can get by just finding your 01:02:36.963 --> 01:02:38.746 truck, which we did forever and a day. 01:02:39.246 --> 01:02:41.590 Especially in this category of... 01:02:43.231 --> 01:02:44.532 of YouTube. 01:02:44.552 --> 01:02:47.536 For this topic, this genre of YouTube, 01:02:48.317 --> 01:02:50.318 we shouldn't be stuck in this heavily 01:02:50.518 --> 01:02:52.762 consumerism type idea. 01:02:52.782 --> 01:02:54.023 We're all trying to become, 01:02:54.523 --> 01:02:56.385 to some extent, regenerative. 01:02:56.545 --> 01:02:58.067 Sustainable slash regenerative. 01:02:58.186 --> 01:03:00.389 That's what we're all mostly working for. 01:03:00.769 --> 01:03:02.070 You don't hit that point if you're 01:03:02.112 --> 01:03:04.193 constantly in this consumer mindset where 01:03:04.213 --> 01:03:05.034 you're having to get the new... 01:03:05.474 --> 01:03:06.275 get the newest thing, 01:03:06.356 --> 01:03:08.157 buy the newest gadget, things like that. 01:03:08.317 --> 01:03:09.757 That's what I'm noticing with a lot of 01:03:09.777 --> 01:03:10.958 these homestead farming, 01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:12.340 whatever kind of channels, 01:03:12.460 --> 01:03:14.181 is that it's constantly some promotion 01:03:14.202 --> 01:03:14.621 with some... 01:03:15.583 --> 01:03:17.384 I have no issues with promoting. 01:03:18.025 --> 01:03:19.525 I have no issues at all with doing 01:03:19.726 --> 01:03:20.806 the affiliate deals or 01:03:21.306 --> 01:03:22.768 promoting a company or something like 01:03:22.788 --> 01:03:23.007 that. 01:03:23.387 --> 01:03:24.068 But a lot of these, 01:03:24.088 --> 01:03:26.108 you can tell that they're just doing it 01:03:26.469 --> 01:03:27.309 and they're open about it. 01:03:27.349 --> 01:03:28.530 They're just doing it for the money. 01:03:28.550 --> 01:03:30.150 It's not actually something that they 01:03:30.269 --> 01:03:30.710 utilize. 01:03:30.730 --> 01:03:32.510 It's not something helpful in this journey 01:03:32.530 --> 01:03:33.271 or anything like that. 01:03:33.331 --> 01:03:35.132 It's just, Hey, advertise this. 01:03:35.172 --> 01:03:35.972 You'll get this check. 01:03:36.072 --> 01:03:36.952 I've been hit up about it. 01:03:37.293 --> 01:03:38.632 I've been hit up about Red Bull. 01:03:38.693 --> 01:03:40.693 Red Bull's hit me up lately about doing 01:03:40.853 --> 01:03:41.534 they're paying me. 01:03:41.554 --> 01:03:43.094 They want to pay me five thousand dollars 01:03:43.135 --> 01:03:46.596 for two inserted ads into into YouTube 01:03:46.615 --> 01:03:47.016 videos. 01:03:47.815 -->
