Thanks DMrippy, that's the link I saved that no longer would function. JC12552, I believe the accountant is getting you to start a business for protection, don't know if it's for taxes or liability, and LLC might help, it should not cause you to have to get a permit-contacting the UT extension that produced the paper in the link might be useful. please follow up with what you decide cause I'm about a year behind you in having enough layers to sell eggs. I'm going to do a NPIP here, when my new chicks are old enough and I have a umbrella policy with my home owners--I don't know if it covers selling farm products for eating.

So to do that, I just buy a big bag of seed at the feed-store and do the soak-in-water process? Or do you need seed specific to planting, or are they all the same thing?

NO that will make them moled watch this YouTube videoe!

I am in Lewisburg as well. Can't recommend an accountant though. Check with Bill at the Lewisburg Farm Center (across and down from the Co-Op), he might recommend
someone.

Bill is the best has helped me multiple of times with things I didn't know. Plus the yard birds love the whoop emm..

I feed it to the geese in the winter with their free ranging. Keeps their weight about right. Of course, I have to laugh at the name.

I asked him why they named it that and he said it was a old game bird recipe someone had found at the library here in town. I don't approve at all but you can drive around lewisburg and see who has fighting chickens.

I was given a couple Guineas and I just bought a bag of whoop'em to feed to them. Do you feed it to all your birds? They said that they didn't know the protein percentage.

 

[Oramman87]

I feed all my birds it, turkey, guineas and chickens, even the goats eat it.

Yes we are trying to get some protection from liability (and some tax breaks!). I have had businesses before, have book keeper training, and grew up on a working farm, but if was going to cause problems with the egg license then it would be more trouble than protection.

We haven't done our NPIP yet and I was going to schedule it for May but we might be moving again this summer

due to having to take care of a family member in E. TN.

I never called about an umbrella policy because I hadn't really thought about it.
