Quote: Oh hubby would love those, we're in Cherry central here.

they are easy its sort of a dry/damp mixture you coat the cherry in the cover/dip in chocolate and let rest somewhere cool the liquid dissolves the coating mixture and the chocolate hold in the juices.

I've done this every year for I don't know how long. I sell to friends and the people Bob works with. No one has time to do anything from scratch so I get paid to do it for them.

I usually make at least 100 sticky rolls or 3 dozen dumplings at a time. Don't forget the kids and grands stop by and are disappointed if the cookie jar is empty.

so If i could get my hands on that I could feed my chickens all winter for $23. ?? is that all you give them and why so much ? that sounds like a great price.

Wishing you can come over and pig out next time I make sticky buns. Lol

Don't tempt me. I may just show up on your door. I was born in Maryland, but don't remember it at all. I remember New Jersey, but we moved out here when I was 6. I really want to see the east coast, but we always end up going west to visit hub's brother in Maui. Sounds terrible, doesn't it? Hmmm, but now that I know somebody in MD.... Hmmmm. My son took a school trip to DC ans NYcity this summer. He's seen more than I have. Need to fix that!

Tomorrow is hauling feed oats day from elevator in Gladstone  (aka happy rock) to the farm in tote bags.  Each bag can hold about 1000 lbs.  The bags are $25.00 but reuseable and way cheaper then buy a used grain truck or dump trailer.   Price of feed oats is $2.30 a bushel.  They figure a bushel at about 38 pounds or so.   Figure I am going to need between 300 and 400 bushels.   Should last a year or maybe two  depending on chicken math.  And other critter's type math.  

Do these storage bags keep out the weather

nope  will lift them with the bobcat and then auger them up to the metal hopper type grainery we built.   Grain doesn't loose any nutrients until they start to process it as long as you keep it dry.   Bugs don't really matter as the hen like bugs.    The bags have a spout like thing hanging from the middle of the tote on the bottom  (shut up RED)

That's good to know, have wondered about buying oats & other grains if they would loose nutritional value if they weren't used fast enough.

I'll have to find my chocolate covered cherry recipe for you. It's ready to eat in a couple weeks.

Many farmer's store their grain the harvest in bins until either they need the money or the price is good. The grain does loose some moisture which means lost weight and although small grain is sold by the bushel it is really weight bases so some loss of money as well. Take spring wheat a standard bushel is about 60 to 62 pounds a bushel. Corn,sunflowers, and I believe soybeans are sold by the 100 weight.

And this class concludes our lesson in Agricultural Economic's for the day
