FOOD INDUSTRY AND HARVEST NEWS:
ADM Rethinks Plant-Based Protein Investments as Consumer Demand Wanes
Although interest remains in the alternative protein category, higher prices compared to traditional meats have spooked return customers and tapered off their purchases, according to a report from CoBank. Beyond cost, lingering negative perceptions around taste, value and versatility continue to be obstacles for the category.
Raw Milk now Legal In Iowa Despite The Groans of The Powerful Dairy Lobby
TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC:
Roast pork with potatoes and gravy, a simple dish but the results are just fabulous. you will need a pork shoulder, butt and hopefully it has the fat intact. Depending on the size you will need to roast it for a long time, for me, it was about 4 hours to get the meat sliceable. It will slice at about 180 degrees.
I use a bed of vegetables to rest meat on and to flavor the gravy.
HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI:
There has been a remarkable surge in the growing trend of canning and preserving in America in recent years. As individuals become more acutely aware of the importance of prepping and building food security many have turned to the age-old practice of preserving fruits, vegetables, and even meats. Canning and preserving offer a multitude of benefits, allowing individuals to enjoy seasonal produce year-round. Examples would be taking advantage of harvest abundance, bulk buying,etc. This revival has prompted a resurgence of interest in traditional recipes, and traditional techniques like water-glass preservation of eggs, salt curing, yogurt making and many more pursuits that would fit nicely into the home economics bucket.
Read The Independent Farmstead by Sean & Beth Daugherty, I am a few chapters in and find it to be an excellent read for those looking to homestead.
ECONOMIC NEWS:
The home price insanity is comeing to a close, I predict a big downtow (crash) in the next 6-12 mos. Price cuts are getting very common and prices are just insane.
PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION:
YKK zippers-I NEVER buy any garment or bag or luggage or backpack that does not have a YKK zipper. All my jackets, jeans, etc use this quality-made zipper. If a make of one of these items chooses a cheap zipper it should be a signal to you to not buy the product.
CLOSING THOUGHTS:
Iowa’s governor must have taken plenty of heat for the decision to sign this bill into law. This makes 46 states that have raw milk in some form or fashion so consumers can access it. While they may ave to join herdshares or buy “pet food” they are still
