Ep 15. House Moving, "Matt's So Predictable," & How Now Shall We Eat?

Happy Independence Day! In this 4th of July episode, Matt and Jerica review some of the antics of the week--Matt decided to move a small house from Henderson, and Jerica had to pull her foot out of her mouth after calling him "predictable."  She recanted after he proposed to start acting more spontaneously!  They reviewed some of the issues in getting a permit to move a 15-foot tall building down the road! They then meander back to the business of farming and discuss necessity of ingenuity and labor-cost reduction to stay a viable business, and the economy of scale.  One of the tasks that Matt started to learn early on was refrigeration installation and diagnosis--an industry in itself! Jerica brought up the "should I only eat organic" question, and her insights on how to eat.   The conversation is rounded out with the discussion of mono-crop farming, pest mitigation, high-density grazing, what the Cadmans eat for breakfast, the use of iodine to treat mastitis, vegetable oils, preservatives, the freezing of meat...and so many other things!  Oh my... This episode ends with a meditation on Psalm 119-- "before I was afflicted I went astray…it is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes."
