What Makes Me an Expert
Wikipedia gives this example " Experts have prolonged or intense experience through practice and education in a particular field. In specific fields, the definition of expert is well established by consensus and therefore it is not necessary for an individual to have a professional or academic qualification for them to be accepted as an expert. In this respect, a shepherd with 50 years of experience tending flocks would be widely recognized as having complete expertise in the use and training of sheep dogs and the care of sheep."
I have been involved in farming, and ranching for over 40 years. I have studied the trends, the methods, and the markets.
I also have a view of the future that is very bleak if we do not begin to have small farms and acreages (which I believe will be supplying the bulk of the US grown food) producing in a sustainable, and profitable method.
To that end I have begun to help folks with small acreages, and farms become profitable, and to help them make not only a profit, but a good living. I also believe that a farm lifestyle should not be stressfull, but prosperous in spirit, and production.
I want to hear from you!
I want to know what you are experiencing, and what problems we can fix together.
Not every farm, and especially not every person is the same. Farms are living, breathing things, and need to be developed, and groomed in accordance to the temperature, soil condition, water availability and prefrences of their owners.
