Bragging Rights

Bragging rights on the farm. Not the billion dollar gains on Wall street or the hole in one on the course
or finishing the 5K in under 20 minutes. Us country people have our own. Who got the biggest buck of the season, who grew the first red tomato or who grew three ears of corn on one stalk.
This year I'm bragging to the neighbors about the biggest head of broccoli grown in the garden and the most money got selling a ole' Hen at the local auction and  last year how I got the largest cat fish using a fishing pole and a worm.




This one Big Broccoli head will cost you more
at Traders Joe's
than the 100 broccoli plants I planted and grew.
The brocolli grew to 12.5 inches across.

 

Brandywine by June 25th weighing over a pound



$85.00 dollars gotten for one Hen and her just hatched chicks!!!!!

The Federal government states that a family of two adults spend about $350.00 - $650.00
per month depending on the kind of food bought: thrifty plan to liberal plan. The food stamp program provides $350.00 for food per month for two adults.
I'm going to brag that the garden, chickens, the beef steer and fishing and buying locally produced fruit and pork, hunting for turkey and venison and preserving and "putting up food", put our grocery bill for the month for two adults well under $100.00 a month!!!!!
