This is exactly what you get when the government is corrupted by corporations that then use the power of the government to stamp out any competition, which in turn, forces the public to only buy that corporations products because the consumers have no other options.

Since you have livestock I’m sure you’ve already considered a stock pond but throwing it out just in case. Lehmans has a Stainless Steel Deep Well Pump Head, Deep Well Pumps – Lehman’s (lehmans.com), which says can be installed in tandem with an electric pump and should easily hit the depth you’re trying to reach.

I’ve owned a Harvest Right freeze dryer for around 4 years. I would take this “advice” with a huge grain of salt. The freeze dryer super freezes the food well below 32 and then brings the temp way up to over 100+ degrees and continues to repeat the process over and over until all moisture is removed. Everything I’ve ever read or seen on seed saving is to avoid huge temperature fluctuations. Also, I would think that completely removing the moisture would also kill the seed. If you going to do this I would test it before you have to depend on the seeds.

@ Michale. Got it. I was referring to the video, not your thread. I meant no disrespect to you and I’m not even saying it doesn’t work. I’ve never tried it. Just explaining the freeze drying process since I have a machine and we’re all learning together. I also wanted to make sure people try germanating the seeds if they decide to freeze dry them to make sure they’re viable before they have to rely on them.
