2019 - The Farm

Well, it's finally time to start. Again. :)
 
Finished taking inventory of seeds today, and started the 2019 grow list. Since the 24x96' isolation high tunnel is done, I'll be growing a crazy long list this year, as we'll be growing for 2020 seed inventory. With the soil mix equipment, it should be a lot less work on my back this winter! (Even more so if I get the indoor grow areas plumbed and set up on drip irrigation, still not sure I got the budget for that yet tho)
 
Some of the seeds I'll be pulling from are damn near 10 years old now, so I expect many of these to eventually get crossed off with 0 germination. Everything I have ever saved or traded is getting planted, though. There's 203 on the list right now, many duplicates though where seeds were sourced from more than one person/vendor. 
 
The grow room at home is getting a makeover, going to be "going vertical" to get some space back. More on that in a few days...
 
This list is not complete yet, I will be adding more after I hear back from a few folks I PM'd.

Most of the lettuce is for taste and local adaptability trials, small little plots. We'll be succession planting out most crops, small qty for market, so "big list, not so big qty."
 
Some of the stock (various herbs, seedless watermelons) is non-organic seed stock and will either be grown either in the north transitional field or in pots. 
 
570 fruit trees are also coming sometime early spring, those will go in to the dirt as soon as it can be worked after freeze. We'll plant those and forget about them for a few years.. just mow around them. All the big work starts in a few years with those.  Shouldn't need to irrigate them unless we get a big dry spell, and/or until they start producing.

Do you have to put up any kind of privacy fence around your CBD crop? In MI you used to have your outdoor plants concealed by a tall ( i forget the height requirements) privacy fence. It was kinda funny, you could drive around and see who was growing medical marijuana, by seeing the tall black ,fenced in ,yards.

That's really a very sad testimony to the state of affairs in large parts of the USA where people have been ravaged by chemical addiction and the need to steal to feed said addictions.
 
But then again, in the UK people were flying drones with infrared cameras across countryside houses to determine where to send armed gangs to rob estates that were using indoor grow lamps. And in the UK, you shoot an armed intruder and you go to prison yourself. Same in Finland, really.
 
I think I liked weed a whole lot more back in the 70s when it wasn't so damned strong, but I definitely do like THC and very likely would not be purchasing any "neutered" weed. Props to the many states in the USA that are finally relaxing William Hearst's failed war on reefer (that actually spread internationally due to USA diplomatic arm twisting). Maybe they will relax it here in Finland before I die.
 
Anyway, as far as Trent: Go Brother! You're on a roll now!
 
The Chicago Tribune called me. We had a phone interview earlier this week, they are sending the journalist and photographer out to the farm next Thursday.
 
Belt Magazine was out for a 2 hour interview with pictures this week.
 
Rumor has it some politician types are going to want to stop by this summer for a photo op in a cannabis field.
 
I've been contracted to custom plant 20 acres of cannabis in the area, and run irrigation. 4 other farms, plus mine. At least should get a little $$ revenue coming in next month, which will help since we have no produce to sell.
 
If nothing else this will be good for hot pepper exposure too since I'll have a field full of exotic peppers next to the cannabis, by the time the political types show up.
 
Maybe I can get the Guvnor to try a reaper, then smoke a big bowl of cannabis with me. :)

Last of the veggies I couldn't plant out went to the chickens last night. 10,800 plants (150 starter trays) have now gone to chicken food.

This was humorous. I got to thinking today, when the chinese folks e-mailed me about the pepper grinder and dryers I kind of put on the back burner until I get buildings built, that "you know, I can probably dual-use this damn thing"
 
6WMLYM0.jpg

 
5 mins later they confirmed that yes, indeed, their dryers can handle exactly 550 kg per load, of cannabis.
 
If I got two, I'd be able to dry over a ton of cannabis per day. 
 
Which is a hell of a lot better than hanging it all up, as with a properly assigned crew we could cut the plants in the field, cut the branches, buck the buds off with a bucking machine, then load it right in to the dryers, and harvest / process / ship one ton of cannabis per day during harvest.
 
 
Plus drying 1 ton of peppers per day is nice, and their biggest grinding machine can process 1 ton of pepper in to powder, per hour. 
 
So we might be able to kill two birds with one stone here, and handle peppers on the equipment through end of September, then switch it over to cannabis processing.
 
 
 
Your grass crop is really looking good, Trent. I'm glad you
are finding ways to make up for the trials and tribs of your
veggie grow this season. I hope the soil is starting to dry
out for you.
 
Are the rows straightened out and row covers back on? I
know, I know, you have a lot on your plate. And now custom
planting for others on top of it all.
 
I almost had to cry looking at those pics of chickens eating
your veggie starts. Will insurance cover any of your crop loss?
 
Will be awesome to see those grinders and dryer working!

You are The Man, Trent! Smoke a bowl with the guvnr and eat a reaper LMFAO!
I had to laugh out loud at that one, too  :rofl:

Also Podz, marijuana isn't an addiction. Anyone stealing it is just a dickhead.
 
That's for sure   :crazy:  :evil:

I've heard from some producers in the PNW that there is more money in drying than growing. If you get a good setup going, it could be another source of income.

Snapped that the other night when I was sitting out here staking out the fox that's been staking out my chickens. Ballsy sonofabitch dug a den RIGHT ON MY RIFLE BACKSTOP, looking directly at the stables where the chickens are.
 
You never know when I'll have the wife drop me off up the road so I can hike in, in the dark. 
 
Just because my truck isn't here doesn't mean I'm not here, rocking 3rd gen night vision and a 50 round mag.
