I’ve been scouring various USDA websites and government agency pages, but I haven't come across any actual announcements.
As a complete novice looking to launch my own small family farm, wouldn't it be helpful to hear from actual experts, meet fellow beginners, or even tour some established orchards? How does one even begin to organize all of that?

It’s just bees and wasps buzzing around—nothing real here. 👍

The price for farmland out here is actually pretty reasonable, so since I’ve got some decent cash sitting around and I’m definitely not the type to just sit on my ass all day, I started wondering why the hell I wouldn't just dive into agriculture
..... My big idea is to set up some permanent walnut orchards.... once they're established, they don't require an insane amount of daily grind, which means this doesn't even have to be my main hustle, yet it could still pull in some serious profit after a few years.... so my plan is to snag maybe 12 to 25 acres of land and plant a massive WALNUT grove ....

Now look .... I'm no professional farmer, but I know how to handle a shovel, and with a bit of reading and some solid advice, I think I could make it work .... but honestly, I just can't get the math to make sense in my head ....

I heard that USDA subsidies for walnut orchards can go up to about $13333 per acre ....

Come on, let me hear what you guys think about this!!! ☕ 🙄

My thoughts are heading in that direction more often lately too—thinking about how I could use my land, since it's just sitting there empty and unused right now. Sadly, I can't really afford to buy any more land because even if it's "cheap," it's still expensive to me. And it’s not just about the land when it comes to walnuts—real, high-quality walnuts with big fruit and thin shells—those saplings cost a fortuneeeeeeee. It's definitely a move for people who can sink serious money and time into it for future payoff.

So far, the idea I like best is finding a way to make money on a small plot of land with some initial investment. I figure if retirement funds go belly up, I'll want to be living out in nature anyway... so I'm leaning toward what everyone's talking about online, which is snail farming. Snails love organic, eco-friendly land—which is what everyone should be aiming for anyway, keeping things healthy and natural! You put the money in at the start, and after that, it's all profit... 😕

All my friends who actually went pro with fruit or vegetable production... they all checked out address and got super detailed, comprehensive info on everything. I also noticed that over in Washington, D.C., the Open University occasionally hosts lectures... kind of like education for future orchardists and beekeepers.

I'm running on empty here. My brother hasn't offered any help at all... and honestly, my heart is just breaking. I keep typing and typing... and I don't even know what for or why...

When you lie down in bed, make a firm decision right then and there: you aren't going to think about anything. Just let your brain go blank. And while you're lying there, the next thing that'll definitely happen is this—you won't be able to stick to your decision, and those intrusive thoughts will start "racing" and attacking your consciousness, forcing you to fight them.

Stay firm. Tell yourself again that you aren't going to dwell on things. Let those intrusive thoughts spin around as much as they want—don't try to consciously follow the chain of thought. Just watch how the rhythm of those thoughts starts to slow down on its own. They might still be racing, but you just lie there calmly and observe those thoughts that aren't actually yours, because they need time to untangle themselves.

That process of calming your mind can take weeks, though for some people, the mental noise dies down in just a couple of days. When those intrusive thoughts don't hit any resistance, they don't gain momentum, and their power fades. Once that grip weakens, you'll find you can get ready for a new day of heavy lifting after just 2 to 4 hours of rest. Four hours of deep, quality rest can feel better than 8 hours of sleep. Rest isn't time for your brain to work overtime—rest is when everything needs to stop so you can recharge.

The daytime is for solving problems and making decisions. The daytime is for 😕, while resting and sleeping is for 🙂, and thanks to a higher intelligence, I ended up putting symbols in this text that I couldn't even decide on myself.

Charles Newman said:Thanks so much, everyone, for all the kind words!

Back in '97, I was fighting cancer, and I really went all in on myself during that time. I did every single treatment the doctors threw my way. I stayed on top of my diet, got enough sleep, and once the surgery was over and I lost my strength, I hit the gym, took long walks outside, and just tried to stay away from anything—any person or situation—that drained me or stressed me out. I also used Iscador to help wipe out any potential new cancer cells.

Fast forward to 2007, and I’m doing pretty well health-wise. It takes a massive amount of work to keep yourself going when you feel like you've lost your identity and you're terrified—worrying about your family, wondering who you can actually trust, or searching for what might actually pull you out of the sickness.

Regarding your mom—honestly, I think she'd just love it if you lightened her mood with a joke once in a while or helped her get things done. Just talk to her. Ask her straight up how you can make her life easier, whether it's running errands, driving her to doctor appointments, or just making sure she gets some rest. Any help goes a long way, but nothing beats getting it from your own kid—trust me on that one.

Seeing how much you care for her warms my heart. It’s just like how a mother looks out for her child from day one all the way through adulthood—every single day. You learn love and how to care for people within your own family, and it sounds like yours is teaching you well.

Give your mom my best! 🙏

Emily Peterson said:Seriously, thank you so much😘

It’s honestly nice seeing things fall into place like this. Plus, having this perspective makes dealing with the weight of everything I've learned a lot easier to handle. Thanks for reaching out to me—wishing you nothing but luck and wisdom! 👍

Honey, any sane person would give anything to keep their loved ones in their daily lives. So many people burn themselves out trying to help a sick family member, and in the end—they just get exhausted and lost, while the people they love go through life however they need to!

If God exists (and I don't doubt it), everyone handles their relationship and life path with Him personally. Lawyers and representatives here don't have a say in that. Just have more faith in life and trust your loved ones to choose what matters most to them. No one can control someone else's journey. I had cancer once and I honestly felt like I was already seeing heaven and a golden castle, even hearing a voice from above—but then I saw my kid sitting by my hospital bed, looking at me all worried, and I wondered if they were worried about me or just themselves. I decided right then that I’d help my child here on Earth, because I'm not ready to start helping from heaven yet. Pretty quickly, my own illness just became secondary, and all I could think about was everything else I needed to do for my kid.

I think that's why my work program works and why my life is where it is today. Try your best, but ultimately, the decision belongs to the patients, no matter how much it sounds crazy or impossible to you. Respect your loved ones' choices, but also take a moment to reflect on whether you might have contributed to this situation yourself and what you want for your future. If everyone takes a hard look at their own nutrition, a lot of things will clear up!

Love yourself as much as the people who believe in you do. You'll see that those who pass on never doubt the future of those left behind. So why do we doubt them!? Peace and all good things—sending you my heart. 😘

Good luck with college! Sometimes it's not just about what you know—it's about luck and having a backbone. Show Mom that you care about everything going on around you and ask her for her help!

I dealt with cancer myself once, though nothing nearly as intense as what you’re describing here. I did a year and a half of injections alongside standard medical treatment and I'm doing fine now. I got my Iscador through a private clinic:

DR. SENIA GRČIĆ, MD, HOMEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN, GENERAL MEDICINE, Washington, D.C., 4 Barun Trenka St (01) 4922 471

It boosts immunity and helps you feel better overall... honestly, it might be worth at least having a conversation about it. Besides, I actually know someone who managed to clear her own brain metastases—the doctors over at the Mayo Clinic were absolutely floored by it.

Let's stay positive, and with God's help, let's hope for the best! Best, 🧐

Maybe I'm just feeling a bit down, but sorry...

After you mentioned ending up in a psych ward, this one feels way better. Just keep thinking about your loved ones who want to be there for you—and all of us chatting with you here. If you focus on them, you'll make the right calls and seek out the kind of thoughts that actually nourish your soul. 👍

We have to try our best (even if we aren't God), so when things feel totally out of our control, the only thing left to do is stay calm. That's how we help the people we can. We're all connected—when one family member struggles, it hits everyone. Just hold onto your peace! Have a good one!

Linda Campbell said:Just wanted to check in with you guys. Everything seems okay right now, even though deep down I know it might never truly be. I can't even describe the sheer agony and the constant pressure I've been under—unless you've lived through it yourself. And I honestly wonder, how much longer can I keep this up? How am I supposed to find the strength to drop my kid off at preschool tomorrow, show up for work, or even just whip up a meal? On top of everything, I’ve been dealing with some gynecological issues lately and just started antibiotics today. Honestly, I feel like I'm heading straight for the psych ward. This is the struggle, people. It's a brutal disease, it's life. I'm just sitting here, crying over my life, writing to you because you actually get it. Sending love.

There was a time when life really hit me hard too—illness, a breakup, raising two little kids alone... back then, a family friend told me something that stuck. He was desperate for my kids to have stability, so he said, "It's hard—it's incredibly hard. No one can blame you if you just walk away from it all. Everyone would understand if you lost it and ended up in a mental health facility like Vrapč." He basically left it up to me: either stay quiet, wait for better days, and hope things improve, or lose your mind and go to the psych ward—where you won't be any help to anyone, including yourself.

But I made my choice. I decided to sleep and just wait for the day when I could actually enjoy living again. I tackled my problems one by one. It wasn't easy. Fast forward ten years, and I'm actually proud of myself. I'm happy because I didn't let my loved ones down by giving up on life. Those old struggles? I've mostly forgotten them. Now, I just enjoy my home and being outdoors. It was worth it. Even the haters in my circle have to admit I'm a strong, successful person now. If I could buy happiness, hope, resilience, and faith in a better tomorrow at the grocery store, I'd buy it by the pound and send it to you via Uber. Hang in there. 😘

bluewalker30 said:I don't have an answer. I just know that if this comes back, I'm not giving up. If things go south, I don't want anyone pitying me or crying along with me while waiting for the end. I want to leave with a smile. Full of love and good memories, no tears. I want to be remembered for who I really am...
I truly believe that staying positive helps you heal and can even slow down the disease. There isn't just one path; everyone’s journey is different, and we get to choose our own.
Feed your body so it stays strong enough to fight through the treatments and the illness; feed your soul with love from the people you care about...😘

Maybe reach out to Washington, D.C., specifically Dr. Ratimir Šimetin at 01-48-19-346 to see what steps to take right now. He actually beat cancer himself when he was younger, so he definitely gets it... especially for those who need a second opinion. Plus, since he went on to finish medical school after his recovery, he can offer some really solid advice. 😎

I’ve personally been through my own cancer battle, so I really want to support you guys in this fight. Having that drive to heal and staying informed about all your options is everything. This specific supplement wasn't around when I was going through my treatment—it hit the market just a few years ago—but I wanted to make sure you all knew it exists.

THE ULTIMATE IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOST

------------------------------------------------------------------

Worldwide, AHCC capsules are considered one of the strongest immune system boosters out there. When taken in high doses, it shows powerful anti-cancer properties and acts as a support tool for all types of cancer, managing chemo side effects, hepatitis, AIDS, liver cirrhosis, inflammation, chronic/opportunistic infections, fatigue syndrome, stress, autoimmune issues, hypertension, diabetes, viruses, and other chronic or degenerative conditions.
AHCC doesn't attack cancer directly. Instead, it supercharges your immune system so it can actually do its job—destroying those tumor cells! That’s why it works so well for so many different types of cancer and illnesses.
Over 700 hospitals and medical clinics globally use AHCC when treating cancer patients. While there are tons of supplements available in Japan, AHCC is the only one recognized by the American Medical Association as an effective product.

CLINICAL EFFICACY

--------------------------------------------------------------------

AHCC is typically used as a complementary therapy alongside chemotherapy or other anti-tumor treatments, or as a preventative measure to help manage the side effects caused by chemo during cancer treatment.
In one study, AHCC was administered to patients with advanced-stage cancer at doses of 3g/day or 6g/day. In 25 patients, the cancer disappeared completely, and in another 28 patients, the cancer was reduced by more than 50%.
AHCC is also great for maintaining quality of life (QOL), helping things like appetite, general well-being, sleep quality, and recovery from exhaustion in patients undergoing end-stage cancer treatment.
