54 “food-production sites”

profxm,

I caught this article about a peanut farm in Texas owned by the LDS Church. I’m wondering how much of the motivation for this story is my earlier post on the cattle ranch in Florida (ego stroke!).

  3. Peanut Farm in Texas
  4. Hunting Reserve (food production?) in Utah County

Only 50 more to go!

  2. I thought a few newspapers have previously done articles on these places. I’m guessing the press in general does not read MSP.
