Pigs have always been such a fascination to me. Not just because they're dirty and smelly, but because they can help cycle nutrients into the land, eat food scraps, tear up the soil and mix it with rich manure.
I am such a big eater and lover of onions. They give such a rich taste to a wide variety of foods.
Pigs, while smelly are pretty awesome livestock when it comes to meat on a small homestead. I'm kind of a bit obessessed with them but so is the internet.
Grinding your own field corn seems like a good way to save money but I think I would find a way to run the corn sheller mechanically as turning it seems like a lot of hard and unnecessary work. That home-made corn crib though is pretty neat and sounds like it works well for storage and drying of field corn. I'm actually very impressed by this small scale homestead operation.
