Thanks! You can still buy the "wooden slat" snow fence but it"s double the price of plastic. Guess plastic is the way I'll go. Hopefully it will last a few years at least!

Anyone use it? If so, do you use plastic or the wood? Looking for suggestions for next winter. Thanks.

pennies for a rabbit, or squirrel, dress it yourself. same way with fishing. you can freeze what you dont use right away.

You can buy a whole lot more ammo when you only have two guns!

Storey's guide to raising chickens was the first and last book I bought on that subject. Really good book!

When I was in FFA, my ag teacher used to say "if your fences can hold water, they will hold a goat!"

Grovetucky - Welcome to the forum! I have a question irt the holstein. Did you get it as a bobby calf and raise it? If you have done this b4 is there a significant difference in meat quality between the holstein and say, a hereford? I sometimes see holstein calves for sale and have wondered...

Mine (2) are 30 ft apart, are made of 3 inch square tube. Since I live in MO, I buried mine 4 ft, to be below the frost line, have 6 ft above ground and have a 6 ft top bar with 3 lines for a total of 90 ft of line. I made mine of steel, our previous clothes line was wood and lasted approx 30...

Did not know, that's why I asked, thanks anyway.

Thanks ORChick, this helps a lot, I'll look into the Presto canner!

How would a canner work with a glass top stove? Or, does it work?

Thanks moolie, I'll have the wife or kids check in the library next time they are in town! There is a lot of info to absorb here about canning!

Wow, 6 pages! I have read all of them and now have some more things to think about! I've also got a large freezer, a dehydrater, so now there are other methods with which to preserve food to think about. I only used the dehydrater for deer jerky! Does anyone recommend a book(s) that can explain...

I have the space, knowledge and a tiller to grow a large garden, I do not have the equipment to can. After the initial cost of equipment is it cost effective, say, a canned jar compared to buying a can of veggies at the store? Thanks!

I too, would order an Ohio tourism guide, After visiting the Lancaster County PA Amish, we learned that the biggest Amish population was in Ohio, and would love to visit that area. Just by visiting these communities one could not only learn about being self sufficient, you can actually see it...

Any other coupon sites anyone uses since the last post? Thanks!

I think it is all kinds of factors. As a mailman I see things slowly change in the neighborhoods, I see folks who have added small gardens, chickens, water barrels, clotheslines, and another thing I noticed, and I am in the process as well, is switching from sat/cable to uhf or vhf tv antennas...

Wow! Thanks everyone! I bought the antenna, I went to the Radio Shack that is actually 25 miles further from the TV stations and talked to them about an antenna and bought one, I just need a good day to get it up. A few people in my area are getting 24-26 channels ota from Kansas City and we...
