The versatility makes it worth

2017-10-01 01:44:53 UTC  

why solar

2017-10-01 01:44:57 UTC  

Corn is still a staple for feeding farm animals and farmers.

2017-10-01 01:45:24 UTC  

@Mercer nearly every homsteader I've met that lives away from power has solar and can most modern comforts with it

2017-10-01 01:45:27 UTC  

solar is a low maint and high yield way for power

2017-10-01 01:45:42 UTC  

especially if you invest in a giant field

2017-10-01 01:46:16 UTC  

humans need all different types of foods

2017-10-01 01:46:19 UTC  

to be healthy

2017-10-01 01:46:38 UTC  

And who said that we are going to be eating only corn?

2017-10-01 01:47:08 UTC  

How will we deal with getting old in our society? No home for the elderly I imagine lol

2017-10-01 01:47:15 UTC  

Corn has been a part of the American diet since the time of the Native Americans.

2017-10-01 01:47:22 UTC  

It is literally one of the most American foods out there.

2017-10-01 01:48:16 UTC  

@Yung Koala The old should do housework and less physically demanding chores. We can't have welfare for the old.

2017-10-01 01:49:35 UTC  

I don't think American Indians made many tamales...

2017-10-01 01:49:42 UTC  

Pretty sure they ate it on the cob.

2017-10-01 01:50:03 UTC  

Tbh, I'm gonna take my own life once I'm old to the point where I am only a nuisience to others - another worry, just a mouth to feed, can't even take care of myseld

2017-10-01 01:50:12 UTC  

@Yung Koala the old should be teaching the young

2017-10-01 01:50:24 UTC  

The Native Americans used fish as fertilizer and it worked for them for thousands of years.

2017-10-01 01:50:25 UTC  

Touché

2017-10-01 01:50:45 UTC  

Long before we had artificial nitrates and fertilizers.

2017-10-01 01:51:20 UTC  

So you're pointing out the benefit of corn now?

2017-10-01 01:51:47 UTC  

What is masa?

2017-10-01 01:51:59 UTC  

You can also make corn bread and corn tortillas.

2017-10-01 01:52:08 UTC  

Touché af

2017-10-01 01:52:19 UTC  

This talk of food is making me hungry 😄

2017-10-01 01:52:20 UTC  

I love southern Corn bread. especially with butter.

2017-10-01 01:52:23 UTC  

We can all agree on that variety of food is necessary for morale and sustenance, right?

2017-10-01 01:52:28 UTC  

Yes.

2017-10-01 01:52:52 UTC  

I'm just debating for the sake of debating. Corn is not the hinge point of my interest here.

2017-10-01 01:53:17 UTC  

What sort of grains will we have?

2017-10-01 01:53:33 UTC  

I want oats 😊 Easy to make porridge

2017-10-01 01:53:37 UTC  

What is healthy.

2017-10-01 01:53:41 UTC  

Same @Mitere

2017-10-01 01:53:42 UTC  

Oats are good too.

2017-10-01 01:53:54 UTC  

Agreed.

2017-10-01 01:54:05 UTC  

Diversity (ironically) is good when it comes to crops.

2017-10-01 01:54:35 UTC  

When we don't crossbreed the crops, aye :>)

2017-10-01 01:54:42 UTC  

Heresy!

2017-10-01 01:54:44 UTC  

If you only have one type of grain, or fruit, or vegetable you're asking for a famine when a pest or disease comes and kills off that particular crop.
