Large food and agribusiness companies have generally signed off on most of the new proposals as acceptable. Many smaller producers, on the other hand, suspect there will be less room for them, and for local variety generally, in this reassuring new world of business and government cooperation.

The chicken waste will be be converted into methane gas, which will then be converted into renewable energy. The plant will be able to power the entire ranch — making it a closed loop system. Wouldn’t it be great if all farms could function like this? Do you think that new homes will ever come with a system that converts human waste into renewable energy?

A third of a mile from Charles Porter’s home – the sound of blades swooshing through air, driving his family crazy. The turbines emit a low, humming vibration.

Other people, miserable, cynical pessimists, have to try a lot harder. It’s a jolly short list.1. I am grateful for the opportunity to further beautify my garden with the addition of small fencing to edge the flower beds. Additionally, although it only reaches as high as Thatcher’s ankles we are confident that it will serve as a visual reminder and barrier. Hopefully the strawberries will remain in the earth. Should this campaign fail we are quite certain that baths for Mr. Muddy will prove a more aversive reinforcement.2. I am grateful for the many useless coupons...

Renee of Womanist Musings and Monica did this awesome interview with a couple of women from Magdalene/Thistle Farms, which you can listen to here. There’s a point in the broadcast in which I might possibly have teared up. a little. shut up. There’s also an uncomfortable and worthwhile bit in the middle on the question of whether transgender women would be welcomed at Magdalene. Something I learned from the show: they currently have a one y...

They found enough salmonella to believe there may be some “cross-contamination between the raw and roasted products.” At this point, I’m dumping anything I have with pistachios, but I may just be over cautious. The FDA also says this recall is not related to the peanut butter scare we had recently. Image: sxc.hu.
