<i>Agree with you both. We’ve kept livestock, but have been dependent on purchased alfalfa or grain to supplement their grass diet from our own land. If free fed grass is not available, most cannot keep livestock and there will be upward pressure on prices. Chickens are pretty easy to keep, but tend to not lay in winter months. In addition, even on a vegan diet, it’s almost impossible to grow enough calories to keep people alive on a long-term basis. Growing underground is an option, but an expensive one which requires access to electricity and ventilation. The pot growers have figured out how to grow through the year, but would be stymied without copious amounts of electricity for their grow lights, heaters, and fans. </i>
