Hello all,
My wife and I are interested in starting a small farm. We are currently looking at a piece of property approximately 20 acres with an 1 acre pond. The plan would be to purchase 6 acres build a house and lease to own the remaining 14. We would run a small grass fed cattle operation, mostly to feed ourselves, family members and close friends. We would like to lead a self sufficient lifestyle incorporating as much permaculture as possible. The land has been farmed with GMO crops for years and the surrounding land is mostly GMO crops, as well as cattle . We are concerned about the spray affecting our garden, fruit trees, and berries bushes we plant. Also, with the chemicals run off into the pond and creek that that our cattle would drink out of and kids would play, fish in. How long do the chemicals stay in the water? Just wondering if any one has had a similar experience's?
Thanks
