Northern Farmer

According to the calendar this is the last day of summer and it feels like it here in the upper midwest. Warm and muggy out,very little wind, with gnats and skeeters trying to eat us alive. But the joke’s on them because there’s a cold front knocking on our door. That should slow them bloodthirsty kritters down somewhat.

We’ve got an area in the garden ready for planting garlic, hope our stock that we ordered arrives soon. I’ve planted it a few times in years past, but this will be one of the first serious attempts because of reading the information put out on the subject by fellow bloggers. Thanks Herrick and JM!

We also butchered the last nine White Rock roosters today, a few weeks after butchering or selling the bulk of them. Our first time raising them in the chicken tractor was a huge success this past season. Never lost one outside, and only lost one when it was a little over a week and a half old in the brooder house. There were hawks and buzzards keeping an eye on them from overhead but they were safe in that contraption.By the way, the chicken hawk that’s been raising cain around here with the banties is with the Lord now. Looks like we’ll build a couple more for daughter Rachel this winter, she did an outstanding job raising them up. Between her egg business year round and summer raising White Rocks outside she’s getting a good start in farming on her own. She’s also very interested in vegetable farming and the talk has been coming up about her taking an apprentice position on some vegetable farm or farms in a few years and bring the knowledge back home to the clan. They’ve some good articles about that on the New Farm’s site.

One thing I’d like to mention, I do this every once in a while, is that our good old USDA has been trying to import Japanese beef. They have a huge mad cow problem there, but the industrial culture of death feels that that’s OK to import that crap in here. Remember just a few short years ago that would have been unthinkable. Every day these One World Order thugs are wearing away every last thing that we once thought of as unimaginable. You know, one has to wonder, Japan has to import most of their beef because they raise so little of it. And the little they have, along with a huge mad cow problem, they feel they should be able to export it here. Meanwhile they do not take one ounce of American beef. And when it’s here there’s no way to know it’s from another country! I used to think this was just because of a few misguided loosers in DC that didn’t know any better, but it’s becoming clear that everything is being guided by an Industrial Culture that wants to dumb down the entire population and lead them around like lemmings over a cliff. No greater enemy does that dark culture have then the simple agrarians following the Lord. A people independant of this failing culture, and people coming to realize what’s going on. While the majority are letting their freedoms slip out of their hands with the installment plan, there are people returning to their roots and awakening to what’s going on out there. I do beleive these are the patriots and our hope in the future. We know the Lord doesn’t approve of the industrial culture and it’s good to be on the side that will rule in the end.
