      Oh yeah, no grains. For grains you need dat combine harvester, and that shit is insanely expensive. I've been thinking if a super-small combine that can run off burning the chaff for a steam turbine would make sense to put to market.

      Hey look, sorry if I came across badly, but you seem to be more of a rancher than a farmer.

      the topic was "the way to survive a war is to have a farm / homestead where you can grow food". You said "no one can afford that". I said "I can" [ I get > 1/2 my calories here ] You then proceeded to lecture me on combines and the distinction between ranching and farming.

      do you understand how your whole thread on combines and ranching vs farming has absolutely NOTHING to do with the thread that you tagged into, and how it presumed to lecture me on shit that a reasonable person might assume I already know ?

      I've just recently read the books by Clay Martin about the state of grain farming in the US, and apparently if someone were to take out the fleet of contractor combine harvesters in case of for example civil war, the entire grain production of the US could stop immediately.

      On the one hand, yes, we use our combines intensively - there's not a ton of redundancy, and the same fleet is used through much of the country, moving north w the harvest. OTOH, there's a ton of redundancy built in based on the fact that we eat so much meat, and meat eats grain

      Lefties always talk about how eating beef means eating 30 times as much grain, indirectly. So, good news, in civil war, if we lost 2/3 of the combines, we could just cut down on beef consumption and eat grains and survive quite well.

          I'm a techie guy so I'm usually thinking about techie solutions. As it turns out, Roststelmash, the gopnik's supreme combine factory, specializes in building small combine harvesters that farmers can afford. They also bought out Buhler in Canada 15 years ago. I wonder...

          It would be cool if there could be a thrust for a "people's combine" like the OG Volkswagen beetle was originally intended to be a 'people's car' It's a crying shame that cheap mass production of quality goods needs immense upfront investment
