@Mario Visin Welcome Mario! Right you are god sir, tons of cheddar across many programs. Not entirely sure I'll ever go full metal farmer, at least not to USDA program standards. I am good producing enough for necessity, community, and saving some for later. But I will say while Oklahoma lacks much to be desired... they do maintain a healthy position supporting conservation & preservation programs for Ag, Wildlife, and natural resources. Greenhouses, gardening, renewable energy, and even rain harvesting programs can render tremendous support, having profound influence on many projects, people, and walks of life. Amazing really. Even so, I'd rather focus on building this excavation empire first, then maybe farming. It seems you are a few steps ahead on the start up. How is the Handyman biz coming along? I might be hitting you up on A few #6 topics, as I will soon be validating my market interpretation skills...or lack thereof. Cheers. and again, welcome
