The more time I spend watching our family farm grow, the more I seem to post about it.
So much has happened since I started this milking the bean blog in search of the HEALTHY!
I've learned a great deal about the soy bean, it's uses and mis-uses, as well as a whole lot more about food production. I have also begun to experience what it means to do the physical labor involved in food production--not so easy--I'd almost rather milk my old Jersey, Secret Soldier Daisy, twice a day in the Cow Palace than hoe, fertilize, plant, watch, pick bugs, weed, weed, weed, weed, wait, pick, wash, process, and finally package--all done in the sunny heat of the day--almost, because all my dread comes from a drilled-in sense of cleanliness drummed into some lil girls in the old days.
From what I gather, it's less wise (globally-speaking) to raise cattle than to grow plants. There are more and more of us humans, fewer of whom choose to grow their own food.
(It's already the next day--6/6--better say less-post more!)
