  • Hey MadSmokerBBQ, love your name,  but the answer is yes, I'm happy to pay the miniscule amount this costs instead of the billions we've been paying for agribusiness subsidies, not to mention the gazillions in Iraq and Afghanistan. If this small investment results in more people eating healthful, local foods, that is a huge payoff.

  • We had 10' of snow fall last winter. You clean the snow off the tunnel, clean it away from the edges (leave a foot for insulation as long as it doesn't block too much light) so that the next storm has room to pile up. My tunnels are made of 1.66 steel. They have no problem with snow load.

  • Good video! I am glad they came out and asked us if we know our farmer or where in the world does our food come from. Great to teach people cheap doable skills to feed themselves. I have organic gardened most my life. Wonderful hobby, gets you moving and connected to your earth!

  • @jayandallie5 Great man me too me too...I am like the song a country boy can survive ;0)

  • @cchanderson I grew up on a farm I am VERY well aware of the importance of agriculture. I support the local farmers markets and buy ALL my meat local. I even have my own garden....butchered my own chickens and pig. The local farmer,gardener should be applauded..however this isn't a "new concept". We are returning to what our great grandparents all ready knew- thus my comment. I find it funny that it's a "new idea", that's all. :)

  • @jayandallie5 What are you talking about dude? They do things like this to raise awareness. Agriculture is our nations largest employers and with the world population doubling in the next 30 years we might want to make sure we are at the top of our agricultural game from industrial farms to back yard gardens we all have to become aware of agriculture. Once you know you can feed yourself a certain amount of stress leaves you. I applaud the local farmer, gardener and the USDA thanks.
