Quinoa is high in protein. Some people call it a weed. I dont know if it will grow in your area or not.
Its high in protein alot of vegetarians eat it. Its a small grain much like amaranth.
At least the Germans are smart enough to stop it.
Hope their corn doesn't get contaminated like the Mexicans did.

If all they have is bineweed then they arent much of an organic farmer.

Hello Patricia I have to tell you (I am not that computer savvy but this amazed me). I got my 'Animal Health Technician' and 'Equine Science Specialist' Certificates in June. I was wondering what I could do with these since my job of delivering concrete has really died. I was reminded I could look it up on the computer well long story short under the 'EquineScienceSpecialistCerticiate' I found our conversation about our fathers, that we had here on this site. Wow how did that happen? Along with Michael Rutherford and Jim Snyder. It is crazy1 An excerpt from this site!

Patricia Early said… - Hi Michael! Good to see another Georgian here! There's a wonderful diversity of experience and interest on this site, and I'm sure you'll find many like-minded farmers. I'm interested in keeping chickens and goats soon, too, but haven't worked that into my farming yet. Right now it's primarily market-gardening and a small CSA.

- Hi, Michael: Welcome to the Farmers for the Future network. There is a fair amount of strong rhetoric at times related to organic and conventional agriculture discussion. Most of the time, though, I think you'll find people sharing good ideas on both sides of that fence. Look forward to hearing more from you. - John Walter, Successful Farming/Agriculture Online
