		<description><![CDATA[When starting a farm, it&#8217;s hard not to use whatever random stuff is lying around to build the farm&#8217;s tools and infrastructure.  The random stuff is free and convenient, and both those things trump the aesthetics and longevity of new stuff. &#160; Our farm is endowed with one particular type of stuff over all others.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Senator Jeff Blake (R-AZ) thinks universal background checks on gun sales are &#8220;a bridge too far&#8221;.  For some reason, regulating guns seems like a scary proposition for Congress.  And yet, state and federal legislatures find plenty of time and motivation to regulate women, poor people, and farmers.  Just not guns. &#160; Over the past few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The day-to-day of farming lends itself well to audio content.  Whether we&#8217;re hoeing, weeding, seeding, or pulling buckets of rocks out of the fields, our ears are always free for listening.  Without podcasts, I listen to the unnerving sound of cows peeing in an adjacent field.  With podcasts, my ears have better things to do.  [...]]]></description>

One week, you&#8217;re on top of the world, Scrooge McDuck-ing it into giant piles of heirloom tomatoes and wallpapering with collard greens. The next, you&#8217;re pulling thousands of rotten carrots out of the fields. OK, the first part didn&#8217;t happen, but the second part is the g*d-honest truth. Landon [...]]]></description>
