Agriculture’s future is here | Across the Back Fence
https://acrossthebackfence.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/agricultures-future-is-here
Across the Back Fence. Agriculture’s future is here. January 12, 2013. During a brief conversation with an Ag journalist the other day the subject of marketing and over-production came up. As we talked we found ourselves agreeing that some of the commodity groups representing various products out there do an abysmally poor job of marketing and selling their ever-increasing supplies. Not so with almonds. Cranberry almond loaf (Photo credit: elana’s pantry). The other commodity groups and agricultural mark...

Across the Back Fence. For those of you who don’t subscribe, may I recommend…. September 21, 2012. Culling our sacred cows. A tsunami of sorts is building among a generation of farmers and ranchers that, coupled with the right mix of non-farming agricultural advocates, looks to turn the current system of agricultural promotions upside down. And that’s a good thing! Like a tidal wave, this wave has as its origins a trembling. This trembling is driven…. September 16, 2012. How can dairy industry succeed?

Do we have a Constitutional Republic? | Across the Back Fence
https://acrossthebackfence.wordpress.com/2012/10/22/do-we-have-a-constitutional-republic
Across the Back Fence. Do we have a Constitutional Republic? October 22, 2012. Here’s a frightening thought for those involved in the sales of food in California. According to the website No on 37. 8220;at least three major law firms, with offices in California and worldwide, are warning their grocer, food company, and farmer clients that if Prop 37 passes it will set off a flood of lawsuits to the benefit of trial lawyers, much like Prop 65.”. In a deja vu sort of moment, Proposition 37. For more busine...

California at a crossroads | Across the Back Fence
https://acrossthebackfence.wordpress.com/2014/01/26/california-at-a-crossroads
Across the Back Fence. California at a crossroads. January 26, 2014. The water level at Millerton Reservoir near Fresno California surpassed 1977 drought levels as rain and snow failed to materialize in late 2013. Todd Fitchette. The young woman cutting my hair the other day was making conversation. Asking me what I do allowed me to segue into California’s water woes, which is a topic on the minds of many people these days. Since I write about it for Western Farm Press. As bad as the drought of the mid-t...

Why are we still using food for fuel? | Across the Back Fence
https://acrossthebackfence.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/why-are-we-still-using-food-for-fuel
Across the Back Fence. Why are we still using food for fuel? February 11, 2013. Corn belongs here, not in our fuel tanks (Photo credit: daveynin). This troubles me as a consumer. It should trouble all consumers. That 20 ethanol plants. Suggest that California alone might be sitting on an oil boom that could move America much closer to energy independence than we recently thought possible. Remember not so long ago when bread was cheap and other food items were inexpensive as well? February 11, 2013. Error...

Nurturing American agriculture | Across the Back Fence
https://acrossthebackfence.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/nurturing-american-agriculture
Across the Back Fence. February 5, 2013. The American farmer needs more allies like the late Paul Harvey. As smart a marketing move as it was for Dodge. I furthermore would like to encourage anyone with even a modicum of passion or concern for American agriculture to step up to the plate and promote American agriculture. Be nurtured and promoted. The fact that it’s so easy to take for granted the availability and abundance of food in our local grocery stores and at our nearby farmer’s market ...I’m...

Pin It button on image hover. From the Tractor Seat. Ag Links 4 Kids. Wednesday, May 16, 2012. W4DW- Steak Roll Ups. Take one pound of round steak (these are actually minute steaks). I have my steak cut into smaller pieces than those you might be able to find at the grocery store. I tend to use the freezer paper to work on so I don’t to clean the counter top. Roll up steak like a jelly roll. Place rolls in the crock pot. Did you know lean beef provides a satisfying, nutrient, rich experience in fewer...
