Nothing has changed out in flyover country. City living reached its inevitable logical conclusion in a lot of places.
My garden didn't do as well as some because it was a hot dry summer (usual weather) and I worked at an essential job almost everyday. Just planted a plot of greens( turnips, kale, mustard, collards and rape), and still have seeds to plant a garden next yea. The corn and soybean crops are doing well, and I still planning to buy some corn this fall. I may go ahead and get some bags of wheat seed and oats. I'll can plant the wheat and eat the oats. All of this ,plus my other preps, has me and mine in good shape...not great shape, but good will do for now.
