Here is an interesting video featuring Joel Salatin of "Pastured Poultry Profits" and "Salad Bar Beef" fame. There is some pretty good stuff in this little clip (8:28 long) about building forgiveness into your farming system (or flex). I hope you enjoy it and can grab some kernels of interesting information from it!
The Journey of a Beginning Farmer :: As a child I spent most of my life in town living with my mom, but whenever I visited my Dad and his side of the family it was on the farm. From my earliest memories I have always wanted to be a farmer (except when I wanted to be a cowboy). Now, I am trying to fulfill that dream. This will be a journal of that journey :: my research, my joys, my frustrations, and all of the things that go along with the beginning farmer.

dang, I already wrote a comment but didn't have a google account... I begin again. I really enjoyed your Salatin post. I, like you, started out by reading books. Well, actually, I'm still at that point. I discovered your blog today and was inspired to shoot off an email to Marian at Five Ponds. I received enthusiastic support and I am thrilled. I just want to say hello and tell you that I really appreciate your blog. You're likely to hear from me again as my work my way through your day-to-day. oh, I'm from Iowa too! Grinnell area.
Best wishes to you, your family and all your endeavors,
Angela
