Many prospects of Green River.

Green River is well know for its watermelons and cantaloupe.  Apparently that is not enough.  There is a group trying to put in a nuclear plant near there.  They are looking into CO2 sequestration nearby.  There was even talk several years ago about an oil refinery at Green River.  The nuclear plant and CO2 sequestration I know were to be between Green River and Woodside.  Not so sure about the oil refinery.  There is much speculation here which I'm sure has spilled over a bit to Woodside.  Among all this speculation I am going back to the beginning.  Or even the future.  The beginning being growing cantaloupe.  The future growing berries.  I hope to be able to plant a variety of berries with the main berry being goji berries.  Goji berries are well known and may bring a higher profit.  These days more people are health conscious and I have several berries in mind to grow that are high in antioxidants.  

Nutrition Debate. Against all odds. Faith in Farming.

I want to do some farming at Woodside but I have met with some resistance from some family members.  That is the purpose of this post. 

My father had a problem with alcohol abuse.  I remember him one time saying that soda pop was not good either.  It sure relieved my thirst on a hot day though.  I was content with cold water though in 100 degree dry weather. 

I have also met with some resistance in farming from USU extension agents in Carbon and Emery Counties.  They don't think I can farm productively at Woodside.  Though they did show some interest.  I think I can.  I have done the research and have selected berries which I believe will thrive in that soil.  I do intend to do a soil test.  I am not sure about a test of the water.  I trust the water.  A water test was suggested by one of the USU extension agents. 

If this farming works I expect to do pretty good selling the crops.  I have the faith that I can do it if my health holds up.  I may need some help as well.  I know I am fighting some elements including wildlife.  Wildlife may be my biggest obstacle.  I am trying to figure out ways around that as well. 

1.  Plant some berries out side the garden area. 
2.  Fence off the garden area. 
3.  Grow a crop to begin with that may not be attractive to wildlife.
