Michael Olson Food Chain Radio – Gopher Control with Thomas Wittman
One way to start a heated conversation with a farmer or gardener is to ask how they get their gophers!
Why, in an instant, the coldly-calculating farmer and the mild-mannered gardener will both become cold-blooded killers. Yes! Those who tend the soil and husband plants do tend to share one great hatred, and that is those #%*%# gophers.
Why?
Because gophers eat up all the good nature we earn by having our hands in the soil and naturing plants. When we see our new tomato plant dead on the dirt all the good nature dissipates in an instant. Gone!
What to do? Gophers live underground where we can’t see them, and therefore can’t readily get at them. They know we are after them, so they travel at night when we are sound asleep. When we awake in the morning – sure enough – another dead plant.
So we pause over our dead plants to ask:
Take the 2X2 Pledge
“Together, we can eat our way to economic security and personal freedom, and it won’t cost a dime and it will be so easy it will make you blush!”

#3 Cheap food isn’t! READ MORE
