[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1191149, member: 9096"] No, I quite definitely DO NOT want to be part of the local do-gooder group, We've seen it happen over and over again that they appropriate other people's accomplishments and take the credit.. There's of course the 100 mile diet and local food matters group.. I said we grow our own grain, did the research on how, etc, but they try to take the credit for that. We grew an acre of wheat, a heritage variety, we also grow tibetan barley that we propagated from a wee little packet of seeds, that takes YEARS, yet these people seem to think we ought to sell them our grain at $.10/lb so they can feed it to their chickens.. GFY! it's for sale at $2/lb and if you don't like it that's just fine. 2 years ago I had a deal to sell that big steer of mine (Joules) to some part-time neighbors for $2000, live, delivered to the slaughterhouse of their choice, the rest was up to them.. This was a truely organic animal, never knew what a needle was, and really meaty. They backed out a AFTER the last minute, leaving me holding the bag, My friend bought him and split it with one of his friends. He's got meat for a couple years... The neighbors, well, they can go pay $20/lb for steaks now... Next time, an equivalent steer is going to be $3000, and 50% of that paid upon weaning!.. .don't like it? fine, I'll sell them at the sale barn and be rid of the hassle. I'm not looking to be the face of anything, not looking to get an award for "Outstanding farmer" or other BS... If you like what I sell, buy it, but don't expect me to say "How high" when you say "Jump" [/QUOTE]
