An interesting show that I had recorded from the local PBS (KET) station some time back and finally gotten around to watching a couple of nights ago is called Endless Feast. It is a pretty good show that is actually something I could enjoy watching on a more regular basis, but I had only recorded the one episode and do not see it on the schedule anytime soon. The premise of the show is let’s go to some specific area of the country, hook up some chefs in the area with a good venue and, most importantly, local producers of food products from the farm and/or ranch. The particular episode I watched was set in Virginia and involved Joel Salatin’s Polyface Farms – in fact, it was because of seeing the name Polyface Farms that I had recorded the show at all.
Once again I have been more than a week or two with getting a post on here. The holidays got kind of crazy and the work schedule did not help that picture any at all. Anyway, in an effort to get caught up once again I thought I would catch a few topics that have caught my attention once again in a bulleted post or two, given each subject a little bit shorter attention then I would normally give to it. Topics I plan to touch on include composting animal carcasses, horse slaughter – again, raw milk, grain price trends, and fuel costs. I may of course hit something else in there as well, but at least those will get some attention.
I have not posted here in, well, going on two months at least. Once again it is not for lack of things to post about either. I have somewhere on the order of at least twenty posts to make that are farm and agriculture related. Alas, I have not the time to give them all the time that deserve. Hopefully we will get to covering the thoughts that I have here in the future on a more regular basis. In fact, just as with the other blogs, it is the intent to promise a at least one blog over the weekend that will always give you something to look forward to on Mondays. That does not mean I will not post during the week, just that there is a plan to always post over Saturday/Sunday. Anyway, given that I am so behind, I thought I would share a few short notes about several things…
Stephen Colbert (from the Comedy Central show the Colbert Report) recently testified to Congress regarding his vast experience as a migrant laborer on a farm. This kind of stage publicity makes me sick to my stomach. I admit that I really dislike Colbert and purposely will change the channel if I accidentally hit his show. His vast experience that qualified him as an expert witness in regards to the farm labor issues – one day of work on a farm. He basically used his slight amount of fame to both mock Congress, the farm, and certainly any needs of the farm laborer.Subscribe / Follow / Networks
