Right now we're just doing subsistence farming - farming enough to support us through most of the winter. This was our first year, as we moved here in October last year, and it's been a year of major education for us. But we've gotten 150+ pounds of green beans, 30 pounds of potatoes (we were hit with blight), many hundreds of pounds of squash, probably 250-300 pounds of tomatoes, 75 pounds of shell peas... We traded some of our home raised meat chickens for corn and cabbage, which were quickly canned and put up for use over the winter. I have sauerkraut simmering in the kitchen right now. :)

Mr. Madhu Balan. Thank you for your message. I am interested in discussion. What role do you have in the agriculture department? What are your responsibilities? How might I help?
I have been a dairyman, dairy farm manager and consultant. I love the dairy industry. I have several children very involved in it. A daughter and son-in-law who have a 150 rotational grazing dairy, a daughter that has worked for a genetics company ABS Global for over 15 years, another daughter that was my herd manager for for 2000 dairy cows and a son-in-law who is a herdsperson on a 6600 cow dairy here in Wisconsin, USA.
Our dairy industry here is very productive, but in very serious financial condition right now. Many many will go out of business as the average dairyman has been loosing $100 - $200 per cow per month for many many months. Best regards, John
