USDA Drops an Agricultural Bombshell! by Sean Brodrick The USDA dropped a bombshell last week reporting that U.S. wheat stockpiles may fall to the lowest level in 59 years! As disturbing as that is, it is 100% bullish for grain prices, especially given soaring worldwide demand for agricultural pro...

I got my baby chicks in the mail today. They're incredibly cute, and they're already eating and drinking well. We have the heat lamp and all that stuff to keep them happy and healthy. The barred rocks are a nice black color, the araucanas are brown with interesting markings, and the rare breed (we don't...

I don't know where the thread is where I talked about this earlier, so I just created a new one. My chickens, even though most of them are breeds that lay well in the cold, had mostly stopped laying eggs. However, my mom told me that if you feed them high protein cat food mixed in with their normal feed,...

BTW, not to thread hijack, but your point helps prove something that the prophets have been saying for decades - your food storage should be composed of the simplest foods that will sustain life. Thus the emphasis on wheat, rice, etc. I get so tired of people saying, "But I'd rather die than eat th...

For the first time, I'm trying to make beef jerky in my dehydrator. I'm thinking that if it's a fairly good way to put protein into my year's supply. Also I can experiment with different marinades. My concern is that, if it turns out too well, my family won't leave anything for the year's supply.

The Purina Diet I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog Lilly and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog ... Duh!

Anyone know how to grow alpine strawberries? Supposedly if you know what you're doing you can grow them from seed. But I don't know what I'm doing. I understand that they taste much more like a strawberry than a standard strawberry does. In Russian they're even called by a separate w...

Have any of you tried curing or smoking meat? I saw a recipe in my cookbook for corned beef, which I am interested in trying because I love corned beef.

What do you have in your food storage? Is it strictly what's recommended on providentliving.org? Have you made substitutions of other grains or foods? Is your year's supply strictly a year's supply of frosted flakes for your whole family?
