TBF 044 :: Listener Question Special, It is Really Cold, and a Hard Lesson Learned

Happy New Year! As 2013 has come to a close and 2014 has begun I thought it would be fun to take some time on today's episode and answer some listener questions that have come in lately. Over the years of blogging my journey to farming and now podcasting I have been humbled by the number of encouraging e-mails and messages I have received. I've been trying my best to stay on top of them and respond, but lately I have been ask quick to respond as I would like. Hopefully this will make up for some of my slow responses ... and get some discussion going! I'd love to hear your thoughts on todays listener e-mails. Today's Listener Feedback/Questions ...

• How about smells and samples at the Farmers' Market?
• Raising a few pigs for yourself without purchased corn/soybeans?
• How do you price your pork so that you can make money?
• Any on-line suggestions for chicken tractor plans?
• What sort of certifications do you need to sell poultry or eggs?
• What do you think of partnering with others in a farming venture?
