I'm starting to think he's not really leaving.

SOB tention ho needs more nephews.

With his login.

Only someone retarded would call a 5.2 acre plot a "RANCH."

It is a puny 5.2 acre plot of land. If I was to drive by it,I could blink and miss the whole thing.

Now you're talking. You guys just don't understand agriculture. When you raise spinach pies for a living, 5.2 acres is huuuuuge.

What is the breeding rates for a turnip or spinach ranch?

Forgive me.

I always thought a ranch produced livestock, and farm grew table fare.

They breed like rabbits.

When you turn your turnips out in the spring you have to make sure you have about 1 bull turnip to 50 cow turnips.

Using that ratio you will end up with a 96 to 98 percent turnip breed up.

To get 100 percent is not economically feasible. Bull turnips are very expensive.

Spinach I dont know about.

We dont have good enough fence to run spinach.

Iconcohor.

We grew spinach,tough SOB's!

You know he is a good businessman, he only needs to drop a comment every other day, to keep the pot boiling.

That's efficient, and shows he knows how to motivate his people to produce!

Long and Happy Life to Chairman Spanky!

Yup,makes the day go by quicker.

5.2 acres might be enough ground to make a living growing cannabis or wine grapes, but wouldn't be of enough ground to grow anything else that I can think of. Surely not enough ground to raise corn, soybeans, or beef cattle.

I think that DJT may be setting the stage to start withholding Federal Funds from California and the others that have legalized cannabis for recreational use if they refuse to enforce Federal laws.

Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington have chosen to legalize, or decriminalize, recreational cannabis use and of those eight, only Alaska supported DJT in 2016.

Heck, if it was legal and there was a market for it, I'd grow cannabis and/or opium poppies. What other people choose to do to their own bodies is of no interest to me, as long as it doesn't directly impact me or my family.

Meanwhile back at the 5 acre RANCH . . .

Heck, I was wondering what the TUM (Turnip Unit Month) stocking rate could be on 5.2 acres, given it's good turnip habitat?

Will they need supplemental feeding and minerals?

PS, I concur, ranch = critters, vegies and fruits = farm.

The more I read Spanky's post, the more I wonder if Safari-man did not have a son. Little better educated but still very much a chip off the old block!

RANCH, RANCH, RANCH. That should keep you boobies in high gear for ten more pages.

Fixed it, I'm recovering from something and can't work outdoors so I have loads of time to play around.

Geno

PS, I'll keep the other guys in the loop to gain more attention.

LOL

Spanky, you might have been ok, but.....

You were an embarrassment to us grape farmers,glad you are moving on to other opportunities.

You can't make much juice, then turn it into wine, on 5 acres. Do you have your own crushers and fermentation system, barrels? Oh, you haven't produced a crop yet, but have sold wine since day 1? Yea bare ground March 8, 2013, I doubt you picked any grapes on 3 YO vines, and if you did, you stressed the vines and produced crap wine. I have been growing grapes for 45 years, several replantings of sections of our land, so I know in California where grapes grow faster than your Apple valley, you are telling little white lies if you say you made good wine from last years berries, not fruit.

We average 110 tons per year, sell to Gallo to be sold as Turning Leaf Chardonnay. I suspect your tonnage is measured by the empty cardboard boxes when you transfer the wine into your spiffy soda jerk dispensers. We are probably going to replant the full vineyard next spring, probably with Malbec, and in 4 years meet our current production tonnage, and for more $ per ton, and the 5th year possibly double our current income from the farm that started in our family in 1903 as Tokay grapes and Carrigans.

Gotta go sulfur tomorrow if the wind allows. Were you really using Q tips to pollinate your fruit? That Gal sure looks and talks like a holdover from SFO.

Boy howdy, you sure are special.

I looked at your winemaking equipment. Pretty cool, I have seen that size of crushers, stemmers, etc for the home hobbiest. With several varietals of grapes, do you have enough of each to fill a 55 gallon wine barrel? I didn't see any stainless tanks for your white grapes. Are you sure they aren't stolen images, lol.

But I do see you are smart, build it and sell it before the vineyard actually requires much work.The only problem is, but it seems you found your Huckleberry, most business purchasers require some previous years income before buying one. Maybe they will continue the reselling of boxed wine?
