One of my favorite books as a young adult was "Five Acres And Independence," which helped solidify my goals to be self-sufficient with a large garden and small livestock to SUPPLEMENT my food budget. At no time did I entertain the notion that I could produce the MAJORITY of what I needed by following this method, but I sure felt better prepared for emergencies.
So I just read a two-part essay by an economist on a precious metals site trashing the idea of "little teeny farms." I think the guy is WAY off base in his assumptions.
Here's the essay. What do you think?
