Hey, yea I said there was going to be more, so here's the update...
Yea so I didn't read the book she was promoting. Do people read anymore, I mean short of blogs and such. Yea, well I did "read" the article, and she's talking about eating because that's what is important. We all live this life in high gear, 'cause that will get us ahead, or quicker into the grave, whatever. We work our entire lives to get to that point where we can slow down a little and enjoy retirement. Who the hell can retire anymore, who wants to?
But what do I care, you can do what you will, and if you die from some industrial disease hell it ain't my problem. Yea, that is the attitude you have to have to survive in this dog eat dog (I've seen that, it ain't pretty) world. A long time ago, or so it seems I was on the treadmill, shooting for fame and fortune, and ran with all the trappings of the rising star lifestyle. I did more drugs, drank more, and pissed on whoever I felt like, 'cause I was destined for something big. Then I broke down, and somewhere in there I broke. I had friends then, not anymore, I had money then, not anymore. I live in a shit hole trailer in a trailer park in a suburb of Rochester, NY. I may not even be here for long, as I can't even find a job to pay my bills, and I am not sure when they will cut my power, but I am sure it will be soon. Shit I live in this shit hole, and yet, here I am trying to buy local and eat well, and have dropped all or most all the bad habits, and nothing good has come from it, right.
Sorry I had to light up a cig for a second there, yea I still have a few bad habits, so what.
So here's the deal, I first grabbed up this story because I am a big fan of Jefferson Airplane (or Airplane as some of us call them), or more specifically Grace Slick, but that's just a teen memory thing, see. So Then I read the headline and see that this Alice woman is talking about eating local and farmers markets, and all that other stuff I try to preach about, with much less success than her. She is getting somewhere, because she is published, probably has a degree too, well whatever. Yea I could have had a degree, or two, but I was a dumb ass about that when I was shooting shit into my brain. But you should take this slick chic's advice and start with something. Start with just something, because it is the doing that matters.
Well kids that's all I got for you today, it's late for me, and I got to get these old bones to bed now 'cause I got more stuff to do tomorrow. Maybe I will get that job tomorrow and then I can stay here a while, or maybe they will shoot me down one more peg, who cares, not anyone but me.
Peace

More Stuff, and yet to Come
This is yet another list, so just take it like it is.
This is in no particular order, and there is no real explanation, nor is it complete, it just some stuff the farm will need to either allocate or build as the case may be to be profitable. It does not mean it all needs to be there right away, or that substitutions can not be made, it is just an incomplete list of stuff that I was thinking would be good for the growth of the farm, and its general profitability, keeping in mind all the various markets, and the sustainability too.
I forgot most of the list I had already written, so I will have to update this list. I just can't get it to work the way I want it to. It seems that blogger is not the place to try to compose the list, as it is extremely slow, even for my pathetic typing speed. If I get on a roll I leave the type in the dust, and hae to wait for it to catch up so that I am sure it hasn't forgot something. Most of the time it is pretty good about just regular text being typed, but then you try to do something like make a quick correction, of just get going and the interface breaks. Oh well, so sad, I'm sure it is partly my bandwidth. I am listening to the radio at the same time, so that can't be helping the situation.
Well anyways about the farm stuff, it is just a bunch of things, stuff we should consider, prioritize, and plan for, and that's it. It needs more explanation and definitions but there it is, at least some what.
Moving on, I will probably rewrite the entire site in a different program and then post it here, so that I don't have to suffer the aggravation of the interface and bandwidth.
That's it,
James

More notes on Agriculture Project 2008
Well now I am looking at animals.
In previous post I might have talked about animals, but today I am going to just look at how many animals we are going to need in the first three years to make the Farm profitable, while maintaining sustainability. Usually I talk a lot about the why and all that, but for now this is just a list, more will come later.
| Animal | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Draft Horse | 2 | 4 |
| Med. Draft Horse | 4 | 6 |
| Dairy Cattle | 20 | 110 |
| Beef Cattle | 10 | 80 |
| Alpaca | 10 | 40 |
| Swine | 10 | 40 |
| Sheep | 10 | 80 |
| Goat | 10 | 60 |
| Emu | 8 | 20 |
| Chicken | 30 | 100+ |
| Duck | 10 | 40 |
| Other Foul | 10 | 20 |
I missed a few and I didn't include cats, rabbits, dogs, or other various animals because they are not specifically part of the breeding stocks, even if they may be breeding. One important animal to note is the Border Collies. We will start with four, three bitches and a sire, but we will add as the herds get larger. We may start with slightly smaller herds and not all the animals presented, but this should be the minimums we are striving for after three years. The objective is to provide sufficient stock for our own needs, surplus for the community, and enough offspring to trade with other communities to keep the stock fresh. We should also look to conservation of the breeds, and helping others get into farming by providing breeding stocks of heirloom animals at reasonable cost. We should also consider work exchange for equity in stocks, but this is going into to much at this point, these concepts will be covered later. For now, this list will be used to determine the base cost of stocking our Farm, and what stocks we need to build over the first three years to realize a profitable return on investment.
More to Come...

Farm Book v1.0
The Farm Book v1
Every year is time of harvest, be it spring or fall. In spring the harvest is in the animal kingdom mostly, although many plants come to fruit then also. However we should right now discuss the spring harvest of animals.
In temperate zones, that is where winter lets fly with cold and snow, the seasons are generally more pronounced, In the modern industrial world we have harnessed the ability to effect the climate, although not entirely on purpose, and well away from the balance, However it still snows, and gets moderately cold, so there is a dying if it is rather short and broken by periods of rain and thaw. Either way, the rams would do well their work, had they been let aside the flocks in the fall (down time), and by early spring, lambs would be the first harvest. The first lamb to be harvested is unlucky if it is a ram (*boy), not in the sense of luck for us, but for it, because it will be fettered first, nearly from the nipple.
The clan farm would pasture 20-40 sheep, being they provide multiples of product, including early milk. One ram per 10 sheep (ewes) , will be tolerated, ,more so if there are more than three Shepard. The heard is thinned in the fall, but excess rams (in the lambs) will be sold for their weight at 6 months. The sheep will produce one or two lambs, and this is based in abundance. An abundance of food in fall will produce higher incidences of twining in spring. If 20 sheep produce 30 lambs, every third will be fettered, the rest will be culled, the top to flocked, the remaining ten to be sold at hoof, the way they stand, On this of the remaining ten, two may be sold as parts, allowing their trails to be sacrifices to the dogs for their contribution.
Just a brief bit abut dog and humans that use them. A dog is a tool, if it fails it must be fixed, if it can not be fixed it must be eliminated. Any human who relies on dogs then must breed them, and therefore cull them. Dogs must also be traded as any animal,. to keep the stock alive. Any dog that is not performing as is it's nature will be made part of the stew that the Shepard dine upon. Any Shepard that feels not should not be a Shepard. The trails of this dogs must be fed to the rest of the dogs, in full view of the dogs remaining, to ensure that they know their fate is at the hands of the Shepard if they fail to perform as they are breed. In addition the coat will be tanned and used to provide the cloak for the whelping mothers, as a sign of respect for her dedication.
The sheep are the first to produce, followed quickly by the poultry,m kids and kittens. The spring is very busy, but not hurried, for to hurry is to waste energy on waste. Soon after the kids the swine will give birth and then the cattle, followed last by the mares. In this time if Alpaca are kept, they will drop with the swine, or right soon after as would any late goat or sheep. The cattle will drop late spring, but save the fall cattle (half the heard is dry, while half is wet). The same is for the goat and sheep (alpaca also), while the horse, swine and poultry (as rabbits are 3 tines) are once in spring and dry for the reminder, as their young are either many in their a commodity. With horse, the breeding is staggered, as a mare is useless for work while breed and 3 months thereafter, she must also rest one year between colts to produce wealth of any kind.
For a moment let me discuss the issues of cats. Cats are a necessary evil, so to speak. They are consumers of resources, and their purpose is best when unknown. However their lack of use is immediately known. When vermin (mice or rats or other parasitic rodent) invade the barn or home, the cats must be culled. They will suffer disease on occasion, when poverty strikes them, they must be culled. Otherwise they are ranged, with access to nearly any place, and no knowledge of them is always best. They are fed only the raw scraps and raw milk, leaving them to feed on the rodents and whatever swallows or crows fail to fly. If they begin to be noticed, they should be culled fast, and their trails fed to the remaining sightless cats, as this will keep the knowledge of sightless stealth within the brood. Otherwise they are wasting resources that could be else applied.
Now a bit about dogs again There are many dogs, some do one thing, well, others may serve several purposes. It is my opinion that herding dogs are of importance, as they work in consort of Shepard. Some, such as the boarder collies can also be used in game hunting, but not as well as hunting dogs. The hounds track (beagles included) well, but they are nearly useless in herding. A smart retriever may heard a fair short, but the retriever will tire before the collie or russel. Large herders, Collie, German Shepard, Irish Shepard, English Shepard, are good to their use in herding, but nearly useless for game hunting. This means many dogs are employed if you are to hunt as well as herd. Lastly there is such as guard dogs (which most dogs will do), and specific purpose dogs, sled dogs, or pack dogs (which are only needed where horses can not go) and finally there are house dogs, which serve to fill spaces and perform the work of cats. There is much to be said for the comfort the favorite bitch of a Shepard can provide years of comfort on cold winter's nights. Likewise a small "castle" dog can provide comfort, but little else in my opinion. Still in a steading, the small dogs use resources, but can produce at least a moderate wealth, if they are whelping and traded for useful dogs.
Other livestock must be traded out to refresh stock. Lambs are traded for lambs, and so forth. Cash in modern society is of little use to the clan farm, but save for imports which are usually bought with money made from clan work. The by-products of the clan work surplus should be sold at a market, or if remote, through access points. Combinations of technology and need to buffer the clan on society therefore makes the tavern (today's bed and breakfast) the idea buffer for a larger clan with relative access to the metro community.
Limited resources denote that everyone of them must be carefully accounted for. Land the ultimate limited resource is heart of the clan. Land can not be possessed, only used and reused, or set free.Therefore land is limited but boundless. The clan may remark parts of the land, and different clans may dispute one clans more from theirs, but all clans will agree that the land can not be owned,. bequeathed, or possessed.
The land is free, and the clan will only claim their use of the land, and only this may carry any attachment. The fields are the fruits they bare, not the filed themselves. There can only be no levy on fields, no instrument of commerce can attach to that which is not chattel. The animals are the Shepard of the land, they maintain balance without our assistance. We are the Shepard of the animals, and the harvesters of the fields without attachment, for there is nothing but the yield that can be attached.
That said, there is use, and the use can be measured. This measure can be attached and the attachment made chattel for commerce if so is deemed. Therefore the resources of the land are limited. Therefore the results of the clan is chattel, and in that wealth and worth is one's measure of this limit.
In keeping with such limits, those resources which immediately are abundant may cease to be so if the Shepard are careless in their generation. Live not upon, but within the land, to best utilize the resources. Energy consumed is for less from within the geosphere than atop it. Reserve the surface for grazing and growing, living within the geosphere connects the soul to the spirits of the land with permanence. The careful clan roams not, but maintains balance with wakeful herding, and stout use of the growth. Therefore the land provides adequate resources for the longevity of the clan, and surplus is the work of the clan, that results in regular abundance of perishable and non-perishable goods.
This is a draft, more will be added and edited to.

National Organic Program and Dairy Producers
Not having any other place to comment on this particular issue, I have been made aware of a particular issue pertaining to Organic Dairy and the National Organic Program. The issue was brought to my attention from Go-NOFA-NY a yahoo group that I am a member of. I then checked out the site referred (The Cornucopia Institute)and there found the link to the story and the letter that is in question. I am putting a link to the story here (Milk Processors Clout Versus the Voice of Dairy Farmers)which includes a link tho the letter. I read the story and the letter and although I can agree with much of what the story says about the letter, referring to the interpretation and power of lobbyist et al, I have one particular problem with the story.
This may appear to be just picking at the story, and I might agree, but as the story indicates we should be careful of interpretation. In the story the authors "Mark Kastel" and "Will Fantle" make a very harsh statement (Late last year we learned that the nation’s largest organic dairy processors... collaborated on drafting a secret letter to the USDA Secretary proposing their own “fix”...) that includes the above highlighted statement. I take issue with the part that is highlighted in bold, "secret letter". The reason I take issue with this is because of how they interpret this. They say the dairy producers wrote a secret letter, which implies that it was done so to avoid public knowledge. It also implies that it is harmful, as that word secret always implies the hidden or esoteric. However the letter may have been delivered in "private" to the secretary, which implies a completely different meaning. When someone delivers something to you in private, it means they wish to have the opportunity to demonstrate discretion on all parties, and that the issue may be one of less insidious condition. The idea that large dairy producers are looking out for their own interest is not surprising to anyone who works with them, however that they are working to develop a secret pact with the secretary of agriculture, to seems highly unlikely.
First what is there for them to gain from this? They gain nothing from weakening the standards. If they did this they put themselves in direct competition with the larger dairy producers who already can out spend them in Washington. Their edge is maintained by making the standards stronger.
Second, they (the large organic producers) have every reason to maintain a level of privacy until such time as when they are certain they have influence with the secretary before asking their producers (milk providers) to adopt the standards. Early issue of such considerations will stir up controversy and unnecessary fear with the dairy industry. If they can ensure that they have influence with the secretary they would then have the ability to work with him to work with the dairy farmers to make the standards stronger.
Lastly, although it is true that whenever large organizations use private channels and vague language in communication with any government agency there should be diligence on the part of the press, they too should be careful of semantic use of vague or pointed usage of language themselves. Perhaps I am being very pointed myself in this bit, but I believe that although there is much that is good about this particular article and that brining the letter to the publics attention is noble in intention, when the press uses such allegations as secret letter, it implies perhaps something more to the public they are addressing than is really there, and that perhaps the press themselves are guilty of sensationalism for the sake of obtaining greater good, but with out discretion that should be considered paramount. Dirt is great, but there was a reason your mother told you not to throw dirt in other peoples faces, it begins a dialog of defense, rather than a debate.
This is a ruff draft, keeping this in mind, I may revise this post at any time in the future for content or impact.
Thank you

Bio-Diesel In Fulton, NY?
A Bio Diesel Future in Fulton, NY?
Link to Story (http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20070116005340&newsLang=en)
Is Fulton the next Bio-Diesel story. Today I looked in my email to see that Fulton, NY is still going on about their Bio-Diesel plant. Although I really believe that it is a band-aid on an arterial bleed (Bio-Diesel that is). There is some hope that at least for the moment it will provide a some sort of hope to the people of Fulton, NY. They are desperately in need of hope, but is this the answer to their hopes. All I can say is that the reality is far from the hopes they most likely have. I have seen this type of hype before, and the truth is not only is Bio-Diesel not a long term solution, but I don't perceive it benefiting Fulton, NY all that much.
I will continue to follow this story, as I have been in the past, to figure out what the truth is, if there is any.
More to come...

I have seen this type of hype before, and the truth is not only is Bio-Diesel not a long term solution, but I don't perceive it benefiting Fulton, NY all that much.
I will continue to follow this story, as I have been in the past, to figure out what the truth is, if there is any.
More to come...
