As a mushrooms farmer, I can say that I’m not rich. Most of your mushroom footage is from forest foraged mushrooms that actually aren’t able to be grown at all. They depend on tree and fungi to work together. This is why we need healthy forests. All the best. 🍄
Found a porcini's in my front yard last year. left it alone hoping it will spread more spores. Have or had Shiitake's in my backyard from spraying the last 3 mil of a syringe. Think the deer ate them too soon or some other wildlife. haven't produced or seen any in a couple years. Thinking about trying the "Growing mushrooms on untreated sawdust pellets" from Glenn Coville. Or just get syringes of spores then turn them into 5 gal buckets and dump all over my property. Have a spring in my backyard so humidity lv's can be great. have failed several times trying indoor or controlled environment. Did some agar and uncle bens pre cooked long grain. couple years ago. with a few edible strains. It crazy to think they use Mycorrhizal fungi in large hydro or aqua ponics in large commercial grows.
what is your mushroom set up like and is it at least 6 figures a year? There is a family that grows noting but strawberries, mushroom and a few dairy goats and they claim to profit 500k a year. Top 3% right there, and thats pretty nice.
As a fellow mycologist I do my part spreading spent substrates and the odd bag of inoculated alder chips! It's so rewarding to return to the business parks year after year and see those beautiful little pins popping up!

Mushrooms $20/lbs depends on variety. ginseng 6yrs to mature $200k per acre lavender fresh or dried $10 a bunch saffron most expensive herb, $2500k 1/4 acre of land to produce. goji berries $20/lbs or $140k per harvest bamboo renewable resources $25k or about 200 bamboo plants from an acre
Back in 1978 I had the same idea, so I ordered some Autumn Crocus bulbs and planted them, so, a Year later when they bloomed, I found-out why Saffron is so expensive.The labor cost would be extreme. I had my supply of Saffron, though.
I started growing Lychees here in Florida when I saw how delicious and expensive they were $12-25 a pound. A mature tree can produce ~25 lbs. per year.
@@beebob1279 They are a Tropical fruit in the same family as Longans and Rambutans? Got it. LOL They are small Golfball sized, weird looking Red fruits that have a hard shell and 1 large pit inside. They are extremely sweet with the texture similar to a Grape. They don't like Frost, so if you live in an area where it gets Frost you'll have to grow them in a large container in full sun.
@@SomeBody-pb7ht I'm in St. Lucie county and they grow great here in our yard. A commercial grower is located about an hour South of us. Not sure about if there are any others.
@@Automedon2 That's my PERSONAL tree output. Commercial trees are much bigger than the 5 year old trees I have. My trees are pruned so I can harvest STANDING ON THE GROUND. Commercials use a man-lift to harvest them 30-100' Tall mature size
It's the balance between supply and demand that pushes the price up. If every farmer grows a particular crop, it's not rare anymore and the price will go down
The nice thing about lavender is that it doesn't have to be replanted. It sounds as though three years is the typical turn around for these crops. Not bad as long as you have patience. What about the other valuable crops. I bet a crown of broccoli would sell well if food was scarce. Don't forget about the main foods we eat every day
And you want to make sure that you're not harvesting the lavender when the bees are out and about cause they sure love those flowers. I only have one on my balcony and can't go out there when the plant is flowering 🤣
I started a very small lavender farm and my oldest plants are now dying at six years old. But they ended up getting large enough to where they actually created a hedge. As for bees, if you’re careful and move slowly, they won’t bother you
Cuttings from mature Goji berry plants will fruit the first year. It's only plants from seeds that need 3 years for fruiting. Most commercial goji berries are from cuttings, for that reason.
Arugula blossoms are very good on return of investment for price per pound. We had a crop of arugula bolt, and it was before we found out the price per ounce would have made it worth our time selling it at the local farmer's market.
NOT clickbait, this magic will make every farmer a millionaire. Maybe there needs to be a law against the claims of science, religion and corporations. You're amazing.
A HUGE part of this is the marketing of the products and actually making the sales required to reach these numbers. Harvest time is another thing to consider and take into account. Regardless these are great ideas.
Mushroom powders are popular for health. So drying them is a good plan . They're allso a good prepping item since they remain usable dried for a long time.
Like every other get-rich-quick BS, there's a lot more complication to each of these than presented here, and a ton more labor. I actually do some of these to earn money and I know. Not very many people are willing to put in the labor, especially the stoop labor, that is required, and precious few are going to get rich. My advice is don't give up your day job just yet; this video is just so much clickbait.
Can you elaborate and give us some farming advice based off some of these crops? It’s an interesting industry to me. But like any industry you must master it if you want the big bread ofc and that takes many years
those goji berries grow like crazy... I was renting a house in Calgary and the landlord had planted some when he was living there... after a few years they took over the whole south side of the house and spread into the lawn. I had to mow the lawn based on how fast the goji plants were growing because those little stalks came up faster than the grass... reminded me of out of control raspberry bushes. they were relentless once they rooted in.
In Michigan growing ginseng is somewhat regulated. Wild ginseng used to be quite common but has been overharvested heavily and is now fairly rare. It's a threatened species nationally so collecting wild ginseng is illegal. I believe to sell ginseng you'll need a state certification, at least in Michigan. Growing cultivated ginseng in a wild setting can be problematic check your states regulations. Ginseng requires a long growth period to mature, hence 6+ years. Actually the older it gets the more potent and valuable it becomes. Wild ginseng is worth much more because it's more potent than cultivated. Also if you grow outside you may have a problem with people poaching your plants.
saffron doesn't need dry places there the one that Europe used to have and thought to be lost and uk used to be the main provider of this climatized saffron, a farmer found surviving saffron on his land and started propagate them few years back. If i remember correctly.
@@LuisC7 because harvesting the stigmas is VERY labor intensive. Not physically hard but you’d need several people to harvest the styles/stigmas/threads
Highly regulated and varying degrees of legality in most states. Hemp is high risk because it MUST comply with the 0.3% THC limitation and if your crop exceeds that by a fraction of a percent, the entire crop will be destroyed. Also, check-out the 2024 Farm Bill. It comes down hard on hemp and some are saying it could destroy the entire industry. I would not recommend it as a cash crop for someone looking for something new to get into.
I recently made more purchases. Saving money for a market downturn is likewise a bad idea. There are numerous ways to look at recessions and depressions, we cannot always expect to make large returns, and taking chances is better than doing nothing. The bottom line is that you will achieve remarkable results by diversifying your portfolio and making wise decisions. My portfolio's raw earnings rose by $608k in just 5 months.
Due to the variety of my employment, I don't have a certain fund that I invest in. I don't act at all like that. I imitate the behaviour of seasoned financial counsellor Kimberly Jean Heavner , who holds a US Securities and Exchange Commission license (SEC). Since then, in contrast to the IRA's slow growth, my returns have increased quickly. What I possess only appears in her trades, not in a small number of specialized firms.
@@marcelrobert9569 That's incredible! If she has A-list skills and is this skilled, I'd like to speak with her. I also clone trades using a MAM account, yet my overall loss is 20%. Where can I get her contact information?
I think haskap/honeyberry could be an upcoming star. More nutritious than gogi berries and they actually taste good. They look like giant blueberries but they are not fussy with the soil requirements
@@pamelaschneider6570 found naturally in Siberia and Hokkaido Japan, they blossom and fruit in springtime. You need both male and female plants to pollinate. There are many varieties and usually available at nurseries. The berries grow in little clusters under the leaves and have a distinct flavor like blueberries. They freeze well so I keep them for smoothies and oatmeal year round.
There's a bunch of very profitable crops, many of which are difficult to grow. At least a few more could have made it to this list. Vanilla is a prime example. Orchids are hard.
The only way to make them competitive is to somehow import their natural pollinator bees from Mexico and make them acclimate to the new environment. Hand pollination is simply cost prohibitive unless you have cheap labor at hand.
I think this video serves as an introduction into some of the more lucrative crops, but it’s clearly not stating that it is easy to do or maintain…these are for experienced farmers or people who truly want to take on these projects. Not sure why some people are calling this click bait…you need to do the real research regardless of what the video says which is very general information anyway
Now might be a good time to plant saffron since most of it is grown in Afghanistan, which might make it more difficult to obtain or expensive in the future. If you want to grow gogi berries, you can literally plant the seeds from the dried ones from the grocery store, and almost every single seed will sprout. There's videos of people doing this on UA-cam, one lady planted a huge amount of seeds not realizing how fertile they were and made a video of her entire apartment covered in potted gogi berry plants, they were on every surface. In some US states, there's another "High" profit crop people can grow. Marijuana! It's actually easy to grow, as long as it doesn't get infested with a few specific insects or molds.
@@tracycrider7778 where are u getting the roots from ?? I've been looking for a source forever can u please message me back I would appreciate it thanks
You have no idea what you're talking about. Growing Cannabis is not easy at all. You just told all of us that grow that you have never grown it and regurgitate headlines like you know something. You assume a high profit because all you have done is buy it.
6:30 HAHAHAHAH! In my experience the opposite is true. I have tried repeatedly to grow various types of berry bushes, and most have died or barely survived, with stunted growth from here on out. I haven't tried goji yet though. So far, I have tried service berries, currants, and blue berries, as well as grapes. Grapes have by far been the most successful, with the disclaimer that after 3 years, I am only now getting my first crop of them, which won't be ripe for another few months. I have gotten enthusiastic foliage growth, though. Despite the time it took to harvest, I'm planning on expanding my grapes plot.
While this video is great I think the estimates for GROSS revenue are a bit optimistic. Your market price is dependent on what the local market will bear if selling retail/direct to consumer, or the commodity price if selling wholesale. Also consider at least 50% expenses so net profit is half or less of gross revenue, and this isnt taking into account land cost (rent or buy). Cannabis was another obvious one but its not legal everywhere, but since legalization profit per acre has gone down significantly.
I still don't know why people who grow cannabis don't go for secondary markets. Use the stems that they discard. They would need to work together but cloth and/or paper.
Their is a type of bamboo called clumping bamboo that doesn't run havoc on your garden. It stays in one place. The kind that goes all over is the running type.
They have legalized or decriminalized those kinds of mushrooms in US cities in many states, in the last few years. So it might be a possible legal cash crop, if you live in one of those cities.
@@adriennefloreen I dont think "legalized", just decriminalized, which means you can still get busted for selling mushrooms... I'm no legal expert, but I wouldnt set up my shroom farm just yet...lol.
Bamboo: Great for the environment; also an “invasive species” so not so good for the environment…. I like the idea of growing mushrooms & lavender though.
@@martingardens fun fact...napalm was first invented during WW2 for use in SE Asia because most of the buildings were made with bamboo. Easier to burn em down than bomb then out.
I have never understood why bamboo isn't more common in the United States. You would think that we could always find a use for a cheap renewable resource that can create both materials for building and edible food.
maybe im not thinking this through, but you said a pound of saffron is worth 2500$ and requires 1/4 of an acre to produce? that's 10k an acre, how is it more lucrative than the 120k an acre for lavender?
It seems to be about the same as lavender which is a 3 year crop. Simce saffron takes only 3 months, 10k per season per acre in 3 months is 120k an acre in 3 years!!
Yall realize most farmers are told whay type of crop they can plant, what seeds to use, and whether they should keep their crop or throw it away. I believe last year alot of farmers were told to toss alot of their harvest
Believe what you will last year we threw away a ton of food Because there wasn't a place for it in the market they say say doesn't really seem like that was the situation
Even without the subsidies they'll inact certain conditions that lead to the loss of crop even after you've harvested and shipped to wholesaler , my peaches got wasted in florida last year cause they wouldn't release any hard fruit into domestic market at the time due to citrus diseases being prevalent lately, I lost 8k and two contracts .
Almost every one of these are extremely labor intensive to the point if you are doing all of the labor yourself and figure in all of the labor hours it takes to go from planting to harvest the amount you’re making per hour is minimal compared to planting regular crops that are nowhere near as labor intensive… And if you are going to hire either help or farm the labor out completely, by the time you pay out that expense you’re left with very little profit again compared to other crops…! Now, if your time is worth nothing to you or you don’t really care about making any profit after paying expenses then this is great for you…
Hemp has the Enablements to Kreate a plastic that is 10 times stronger than U.S. Steel, and kan make soft cloth & other clothes, and makes a full range of textures in between. So every type of structure in a City kan be made with Hemp, and many, many, many other things, even Foods, Medicines and Pleasure Herbs!!!
When I was in Amsterdam, I went to a clothing store. I seen some blue jeans, the price was like $200. I asked the woman why so expensive? She smiled, she said, these will last you 20 years! She said my cotton jeans Levis would have fallen a part by then!
Aren't they stinky or something? And I thought they were invasive too. I thought I remembered a neighbor planted one near an outbuilding and the roots went far and threatened their well despite it being 30' away...
@@EducatingMama No, not stinky, but they do spread fast because they produce a lot of seeds and grow quickly. But those same properties, along with their excellent wood, make them a valuable cash crop.
Tree Fountain (aka Tree of Life) 1- Bore a hole into and up a tree being careful not to bisect the core of the tree. Alternative: Use bamboo or grow sugar cane as a natural and permeable plumbing and cultivate it so that the tree grows around it. 2- Coat the inside of the hole with beeswax. I would highly recommend making a place to put a beehive in the tree near some water. The natural hum of the bees can promote health throughout the structure and through the water. 3- Put a water basin at the top and a fire pit or fireplace at the bottom. The water basin can actually be used for a secondary water source that would promote growth and potentially allow for the tree to grow taller. 4- Put copper pipe around the inside of the fire pit or up the chimney for a fireplace. This will act as a pump. (You can also use a hotplate if you prefer) The copper pipe should only be used close to the intense heat of the fire. Any amount of heat promotes upward movement in this case. 5- Add water wheels (fidget spinners can be used for some decent mini water wheels) for electricity. This electricity can also be used to promote growth in the structure and in gardens. Check out how electricity is used to directly and drastically improve plant growth. 6- Add hanging gardens for fresh produce. A vertical style garden will do several things to improve overall health and productivity. 7- Splice other saplings and/or fresh tree cuttings using the tongue and groove method for shelter. This can be done with roots as well as branches. Encouraging roots to intermingle and cultivating a healthy mycelium bed are both ways that allow all the plants to share nutrients and different forms of protection. This would create a natural network that can be used similar to a computer for both the plants and people if a computer interface is plugged into the chemical language of the plants. This design provides food, filtered and conditioned water and air, electricity, shelter and SO much more! Everything a person needs for life and survival. Hence the "Tree of Life" nickname! In addition to the benefits listed and the techniques described, this structure will grow and get stronger over time. Crystals can be used as a natural source of low level energy creation and as forms of transistors. Cymatics can be used as a form of communication directly with the plants. There is SOOOOO much more that can be done using this method for creating structures and homes BECAUSE it is living. -This idea will eliminate 90% of the demand for large corporations and industries. - This idea will reverse air pollution and filter the world's air naturally and beneficially. - This idea will reveal the counterproductivity of governments and starve the governments of their power. Your fear and desperation. There will be no need to clear cut entire forests to build ever again and this will encourage the natural ecology in our world instead of fighting with it. Be a part of the change. Not a part of the problem through government. We have made excuses for ignoring the fact that we are supporting all the problems we state we are against. Let's be the change!!!

First thing you need to know about farming is that it DOESN'T make a lot of money. Your profit margins will be slim, and in drylands you'll often lose money to crop failure. Don't let this guy con you into thinking farming is some get rich quick scheme.
I have a nice patch of bamboo , a guy at work gave me a bag full of roots about 15-16 yrs ago . I have since gave some bags of roots to friends to grow too. I love how the bamboo has filled in my woods along the yard ..but it will get greedy and grow into your yard. But just kick over the new sprouts in the springtime
Other crops people should consider if their temps allow. Persimmons Dragon Fruit Lychee Logans Mangosteen Black Mission Figs Macadamia nuts Custard Apple or Sweet Sop
you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake.

Stevia should be added to the list. It has a lot of advantages for the farmers. It's a highly convenient plant for the food industry in order to replace the sugar.
@@altha-rf1et Cute comment. I own a shop in Maryland. It's legal here now ! A grower's license requires a skill set and start-up costs that are beyond me.
LOL what? There is no way that the entire agricultural industry contributed 136 million dollars. I work for a supplement company that does 25m a month revenue. We purchase over 40m in raw ingredients from farmers every year, and we aren't even in the top 5 largest supplement brands in the US. That 136m number is orders of magnitude off. Edit: Agriculture, food, and related industries contributed roughly $1.264 trillion to U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in 2021
It seems silly to me that people talk about how the price per gram of a crop. What they should be talking about is yield per acre or revenue per acre or profit per acre. It doesn't matter if a crop is a million dollars per gram if you can't harvest a gram in a hectare.
i'm sorry but Cannabis i think would be the #1 and you don't need a ton of land to grow it. how big is the saffron market vs. how big is the Cannabis market. and it can be grown at a turnover rate close to those mushrooms.
I imagine there are wood pulp buyers for things like bamboo clothing and bamboo linen, bamboo shoots are a common kngredient in Asian food. I'm sure there is more.
Building materials manufacturers, for one. Bamboo is being used to make things like flooring now, because it's so strong and fast-growing. You could also sell it to craftspeople who can make things like trellises out of it. The uses for bamboo are pretty endless - we're getting some this year, and I can see myself using it to build fences and maybe even animal shelters with it because it's so strong and beautifully straight :)
Bamboo? My neighbor who has since moved planted some in his backyard. It crept into my backyard. It’s incredibly hard to get rid of. No one wanted to remove it at a reasonable price. Then even spraying herbicide on it did nothing. It took a machete, fire, and then covered that ground with black plastic for a year. Regular grass is finally coming back. Did I say that it overruns everything in its path.
There are soil sterilants like Velpar, Atrazine, or Polaris that will kill any plant in the application area for a year or more. Consult you county agricultural agent for more detailed advice.
@@i-..--..--..-i6985 My wife researched and bought a herbicide, wear PPE and it left a blue stain. First application idid nothing but kill everything else. Third time is when I used machete cutting every stalk down. Where the rhizome was thick and partially above ground, a little kerosene. Then I sprayed again and covered with black plastic. Year later it was dead but you couldn’t walk across the ground because of the stubby parts still sticking up. Used old lawnmower set to its lowest setting to take care of those. That part of the yard is a now low area and my neighbors still have some in their yards.
With the way the world is going and Fertilizers n Diesel n gas prices and shortages I would suggest focusing on growing food for your family n community Everyone should have a Home garden whether in ground or containers .

Cuttings from mature Goji berry plants will fruit the first year. It's only plants from seeds that need 3 years for fruiting. Most commercial goji berries are from cuttings, for that reason.
They're pretty easy to get a big crop out of. The problem is they taste like butt, and nobody actually wants them.
Arugula blossoms are very good on return of investment for price per pound. We had a crop of arugula bolt, and it was before we found out the price per ounce would have made it worth our time selling it at the local farmer's market.

Like every other get-rich-quick BS, there's a lot more complication to each of these than presented here, and a ton more labor. I actually do some of these to earn money and I know. Not very many people are willing to put in the labor, especially the stoop labor, that is required, and precious few are going to get rich. My advice is don't give up your day job just yet; this video is just so much clickbait.
Real facts
In a famine economy only proteins and carbohydrates are marketable. But the super wealthy can pay for anything they want.
So true
Same goes for almost every industry or technology
Can you elaborate and give us some farming advice based off some of these crops? It’s an interesting industry to me. But like any industry you must master it if you want the big bread ofc and that takes many years

those goji berries grow like crazy... I was renting a house in Calgary and the landlord had planted some when he was living there... after a few years they took over the whole south side of the house and spread into the lawn. I had to mow the lawn based on how fast the goji plants were growing because those little stalks came up faster than the grass... reminded me of out of control raspberry bushes. they were relentless once they rooted in.
So how much was your cut of the profit?
The difference between goji berries and raspberries is that we'd actually want to eat the raspberries.
@@danwipper juice the goji berries in a "masticating" juicer, very healthy to drink daily
In Michigan growing ginseng is somewhat regulated. Wild ginseng used to be quite common but has been overharvested heavily and is now fairly rare. It's a threatened species nationally so collecting wild ginseng is illegal. I believe to sell ginseng you'll need a state certification, at least in Michigan. Growing cultivated ginseng in a wild setting can be problematic check your states regulations. Ginseng requires a long growth period to mature, hence 6+ years. Actually the older it gets the more potent and valuable it becomes. Wild ginseng is worth much more because it's more potent than cultivated. Also if you grow outside you may have a problem with people poaching your plants.
Wild Ginseng season and harvesting still happens every year here in West Virginia. Pretty sure it's most of the Appalachians though.
Thanks Calvin great information 👍
Of course everything must b regulated.. that way they get their part of your hard work.. while i agree the over harvesting isn't good.
Not only us bipeds ... Most critters seem to love this root ...
I sell my ginseng to Chinese herbalists in Chicago. I grow in Michigan and sell in Illinois. They still haven’t thrown me in jail.
saffron doesn't need dry places there the one that Europe used to have and thought to be lost and uk used to be the main provider of this climatized saffron, a farmer found surviving saffron on his land and started propagate them few years back. If i remember correctly.

You left out Hemp which is crazy because it has over half a million industrial uses
Highly regulated and varying degrees of legality in most states. Hemp is high risk because it MUST comply with the 0.3% THC limitation and if your crop exceeds that by a fraction of a percent, the entire crop will be destroyed. Also, check-out the 2024 Farm Bill. It comes down hard on hemp and some are saying it could destroy the entire industry. I would not recommend it as a cash crop for someone looking for something new to get into.
I recently made more purchases. Saving money for a market downturn is likewise a bad idea. There are numerous ways to look at recessions and depressions, we cannot always expect to make large returns, and taking chances is better than doing nothing. The bottom line is that you will achieve remarkable results by diversifying your portfolio and making wise decisions. My portfolio's raw earnings rose by $608k in just 5 months.

Yep
Honey berries are every bit the power food as goji berries and grow well in a northern climate.
Where can I find seeds for honey berries
Could you tell me more about honey berries
@@pamelaschneider6570 found naturally in Siberia and Hokkaido Japan, they blossom and fruit in springtime. You need both male and female plants to pollinate. There are many varieties and usually available at nurseries. The berries grow in little clusters under the leaves and have a distinct flavor like blueberries. They freeze well so I keep them for smoothies and oatmeal year round.
There's a bunch of very profitable crops, many of which are difficult to grow. At least a few more could have made it to this list.
Vanilla is a prime example. Orchids are hard.
Vanilla is likely related to orchid.. the flowers are nearly identical in structure,
@@72marshflower15 Vanilla is an orchid yes.
The only way to make them competitive is to somehow import their natural pollinator bees from Mexico and make them acclimate to the new environment. Hand pollination is simply cost prohibitive unless you have cheap labor at hand.
I think this video serves as an introduction into some of the more lucrative crops, but it’s clearly not stating that it is easy to do or maintain…these are for experienced farmers or people who truly want to take on these projects. Not sure why some people are calling this click bait…you need to do the real research regardless of what the video says which is very general information anyway
Now might be a good time to plant saffron since most of it is grown in Afghanistan, which might make it more difficult to obtain or expensive in the future. If you want to grow gogi berries, you can literally plant the seeds from the dried ones from the grocery store, and almost every single seed will sprout. There's videos of people doing this on UA-cam, one lady planted a huge amount of seeds not realizing how fertile they were and made a video of her entire apartment covered in potted gogi berry plants, they were on every surface. In some US states, there's another "High" profit crop people can grow. Marijuana! It's actually easy to grow, as long as it doesn't get infested with a few specific insects or molds.

6:30 HAHAHAHAH! In my experience the opposite is true. I have tried repeatedly to grow various types of berry bushes, and most have died or barely survived, with stunted growth from here on out. I haven't tried goji yet though. So far, I have tried service berries, currants, and blue berries, as well as grapes. Grapes have by far been the most successful, with the disclaimer that after 3 years, I am only now getting my first crop of them, which won't be ripe for another few months. I have gotten enthusiastic foliage growth, though. Despite the time it took to harvest, I'm planning on expanding my grapes plot.
Gotta go goose berries and goji
It was fun to watch and educational. Thank you and God bless your harvest.
While this video is great I think the estimates for GROSS revenue are a bit optimistic. Your market price is dependent on what the local market will bear if selling retail/direct to consumer, or the commodity price if selling wholesale. Also consider at least 50% expenses so net profit is half or less of gross revenue, and this isnt taking into account land cost (rent or buy). Cannabis was another obvious one but its not legal everywhere, but since legalization profit per acre has gone down significantly.
Truth!
I still don't know why people who grow cannabis don't go for secondary markets. Use the stems that they discard. They would need to work together but cloth and/or paper.

Back in the 1970s we used to grow crocus like any other bulb flower, not knowing that's where saffron came from.

Believe what you will last year we threw away a ton of food Because there wasn't a place for it in the market they say say doesn't really seem like that was the situation
Even without the subsidies they'll inact certain conditions that lead to the loss of crop even after you've harvested and shipped to wholesaler , my peaches got wasted in florida last year cause they wouldn't release any hard fruit into domestic market at the time due to citrus diseases being prevalent lately, I lost 8k and two contracts .

Almost every one of these are extremely labor intensive to the point
if you are doing all of the labor yourself and figure in all of the labor hours
it takes to go from planting to harvest the amount you’re making per hour
is minimal compared to planting regular crops that are nowhere near as
labor intensive…
And if you are going to hire either help or farm the labor out completely,
by the time you pay out that expense you’re left with very little profit again
compared to other crops…!
Now, if your time is worth nothing to you or you don’t really care about making
any profit after paying expenses then this is great for you…

Tree Fountain (aka Tree of Life)
1- Bore a hole into and up a tree being careful not to bisect the core of the tree.
Alternative: Use bamboo or grow sugar cane as a natural and permeable plumbing and cultivate it so that the tree grows around it.
2- Coat the inside of the hole with beeswax. I would highly recommend making a place to put a beehive in the tree near some water. The natural hum of the bees can promote health throughout the structure and through the water.
3- Put a water basin at the top and a fire pit or fireplace at the bottom.
The water basin can actually be used for a secondary water source that would promote growth and potentially allow for the tree to grow taller.
4- Put copper pipe around the inside of the fire pit or up the chimney for a fireplace. This will act as a pump. (You can also use a hotplate if you prefer) The copper pipe should only be used close to the intense heat of the fire. Any amount of heat promotes upward movement in this case.
5- Add water wheels (fidget spinners can be used for some decent mini water wheels) for electricity. This electricity can also be used to promote growth in the structure and in gardens. Check out how electricity is used to directly and drastically improve plant growth.
6- Add hanging gardens for fresh produce. A vertical style garden will do several things to improve overall health and productivity.
7- Splice other saplings and/or fresh tree cuttings using the tongue and groove method for shelter. This can be done with roots as well as branches. Encouraging roots to intermingle and cultivating a healthy mycelium bed are both ways that allow all the plants to share nutrients and different forms of protection. This would create a natural network that can be used similar to a computer for both the plants and people if a computer interface is plugged into the chemical language of the plants.
This design provides food, filtered and conditioned water and air, electricity, shelter and SO much more! Everything a person needs for life and survival. Hence the "Tree of Life" nickname!
In addition to the benefits listed and the techniques described, this structure will grow and get stronger over time.
Crystals can be used as a natural source of low level energy creation and as forms of transistors.
Cymatics can be used as a form of communication directly with the plants.
There is SOOOOO much more that can be done using this method for creating structures and homes BECAUSE it is living.

The best quality saffron comes from Iran, & it's all over eBay for $20 for 4.5 gram.

I love how the bamboo has filled in my woods along the yard ..but it will get greedy and grow into your yard. But just kick over the new sprouts in the springtime
The fresh young shoots as they are emerging are also edible and delicious. They are also quite valuable and sell for quite a bit per pound.

Building materials manufacturers, for one. Bamboo is being used to make things like flooring now, because it's so strong and fast-growing. You could also sell it to craftspeople who can make things like trellises out of it.

Bamboo? My neighbor who has since moved planted some in his backyard. It crept into my backyard. It’s incredibly hard to get rid of. No one wanted to remove it at a reasonable price. Then even spraying herbicide on it did nothing. It took a machete, fire, and then covered that ground with black plastic for a year. Regular grass is finally coming back.
