I have not checked that. I liked the idea of tuna because it's so cheap, but I needed to know if the expiration date was real. I'll check on salmon.
We’re out here in mid eastern Mo, by the big muddy [Mississippi River] by lock & dam 25 so I have access to that & we have a lot of decent neighbors around us, so we are starting to set up out network/s [we moved into this house in Oct. of ‘14] and I have to drain & dredge our pond & take it back to it’s original depth [it has about 50 years of silt build up in it] & when I have it dug out, I’m takin that silt for our raised bed garden/s [to include fruit trees] I’m also have to build a goat pen for a small herd of Nubian’s (for the milk) and a small chicken coop for the egg layers. I have to put a cover on it as we have too many hawks around here [at least 3 nests] within 1/2 mile of our home. I have been stock piling heritage seeds, for the garden/s & NOT spraying any chemicals anywhere here. And most of the folks around here are about the same way. All it takes is money right now & time to get everything done. [there never seems to be enough time in the day, with doin the FReeps, fb’ing, handling a small political party state wide, having a wife who can not walk & a son with Down Syndrome & Autism]
I know the one you’re talking about. This is very similar.

Yeah, sorry for the mistake... had the reply box open when I had to step away for a few moments, had a brain burp and fixated on bunnies.
Squirrels in a cage, who could stand their angry chattering....

Search “dyi freeze drying” on Google’s youtube.

I believe that’s what I did a few months back to help with my ideas. There are some very simple systems.
I also did a search on google itself and had some luck.
Thank you!
That’s the one! Thank you!
I like it! Thanks!
Boom, mine #50
Thank you!
Your welcome. Could be a fun project.
I am still out here and my present venus is Caregiver. Gentlemen always remember that ‘Husband’ is not just a Noun, but it is a Verb as well.
Thanks Karto, and best wishes and prayers to you and your family.
Good to hear from you. Hope all is improving. Please feel free to mail. Hope you are back soon.
Thanks for the ping - later.
FYI - Quinoa grain is also a complete protein. I have tried it, and it’s pretty good.
There has been an ongoing controversy over the whether soybeans are actually healthy or not - which I have not followed, since I prefer real meat, and don’t buy soy burgers etc.
Good to know. I think I’ll use this idea for our next discussion. Thank you for it.
I just received this as a follow up from the State of Mo. Dept. of Conservation as a warning;
MDC reminds public to not feed deer in CWD counties
Regulation banning feeding deer in 29 counties starts May 30.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds landowners, deer hunters, and others that a regulation banning the feeding of deer becomes effective on May 30 for 29 counties in north-central, central, and east-central Missouri.
Grain, salt products, minerals, and other consumable products used to attract deer are now prohibited year-round in the following 29 counties: Adair, Boone, Callaway, Carroll, Chariton, Crawford, Cole, Cooper, Franklin, Gasconade, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Livingston, Macon, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, Osage, Putnam, St. Charles, St. Louis, Randolph, Schuyler, Scotland, Shelby, Sullivan, Washington, and Warren.
Exceptions to the regulation include feeding wildlife within 100 feet of any residence or occupied building, feed placed in a manner that excludes access by deer, and feed and minerals used solely for normal agricultural, forest management, or wildlife food-plot-production practices.
The feeding ban is one step MDC is taking to limit the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a fatal neurological disease that infects only deer and other members of the deer family. The disease has no vaccine or cure and is 100-percent fatal. CWD is spread from deer to deer and the potential for transmission increases when deer gather in larger, concentrated numbers, such as at feeding sites.
The 29 counties affected by the feeding ban comprise the Department’s CWD Management Zone. The zone consists of counties within or that touch a radius of approximately 25 miles from where CWD has been found. According to MDC, 33 free-ranging deer in Missouri have tested positive for the disease with 21 found in Macon County, 9 in Adair, one in Cole, one in Franklin, and one in Linn.
Other MDC actions to limit the spread of CWD
The ban on feeding deer is one of several actions MDC is taking to help limit the spread of CWD. MDC also collects tissue samples from several thousand harvested, sick, and road-killed wild deer around the state each year to test for CWD. The sampling efforts focus both on areas where CWD has been found and on broader, statewide testing.
The Department will increase its CWD sampling and testing efforts in north-central, central, and east-central Missouri this fall by requiring hunters who harvest deer in one of the 29 CWD-Management-Zone counties during the opening weekend of the fall firearms deer season (Nov. 12 and 13) to present their deer (or the head with at least six inches of the neck intact) for CWD testing at one of 75 MDC sampling locations on the day of harvest. The testing is free and hunters can also get free test results. Sampling locations will be listed in the Department’s 2016 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information booklet and online at mdc.mo.gov.
MDC has also removed the antler-point restriction in all CWD-Management-Zone counties starting this fall so young bucks are no longer protected from harvest. Young bucks can potentially spread the disease to new areas as they search for territories and mates.
The Department has also increased the availability of firearms antlerless permits from 1 to 2 in all CWD-Management-Zone counties starting this fall to help prevent undesired population increases in local deer numbers.
MDC also strongly discourages the removal of deer carcasses from CWD-Management-Zone counties. Moving carcasses of potentially infected deer out of the immediate area where they were harvested and improperly disposing of them can also spread the disease. Certain carcass parts, such as boned out meat, are okay to move because the protein that causes CWD is not concentrated in these parts.
