Why Corn And Soy Are In EVERYTHING

It turns out a lot of farms grow corn and soy, because they are a lot less labor intensive to grow. Farmers, especially those who do it part time as a hobby or side income to sustain their family can have other off-farm jobs, milk cows, and do other things unlike many fruit and vegetable crops which require much more management. This is a very interesting video, something that runs contrary to corporate evil-doer mantra that dominates public discussion of the issues these days.

Raising Pigs, The Basics You Need For Pork

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.
