“The regular Joe does not know what’s going on.” / “Our livelihood is at risk.” As Galactic Cosmic Rays continue to intensify under our quiet sun, staggering agricultural catastrophes abound. The pope encourages you to eat Leftovers, and Google News talks about Qanon; all distractions are in play as the Grand Solar Minimum intensifies. Exciting times for humanity–worthwhile challenges as consciousness rises. Start growing your own food today.
Spread the truth – these are natural cycles, and it’s up to us to build anti-fragile communities in order to thrive in the times ahead.

Gun grabs? WW3? Just scripted noise to distract from the fact that Agriculture is ON HOLD across the Northern Hemisphere. This is forecast to significantly decrease yields, aggravating the ALREADY catastrophic year-over-year losses in global production announced this month by USDA.

We are experiencing the expected increase in volcanic/seismic activity, as the Grand Solar Minimum results in still increased Galactic Cosmic Rays, and transitively, increased cloud cover, general climate chaos, and resulting crop losses. A Strategy of Tension deploys layered psyops to keep people from focusing on the collapsing ecosystems. Q Anon/Trump cannot grow your food. You can. Start now.

Special guest Rhodes Carter of Iron Edison Battery joins the Ice Age Farmer podcast to discuss energy security and how to design a resilient, flexible off-grid energy system that will meet our needs — even in extreme temperatures. Rhodes takes through system design from generation to storage. I also noted that Iron Edison’s Nickel-Iron batteries can be more fully discharged without damage, perform even in freezing temps, and simply last longer, requiring less maintenance than standard lead-acid batteries…that’s why I reached out to them!
Iron Edison has extended a 5% DISCOUNT to IAF listeners — just mention the podcast when you call. You can also call just to talk through a project; IE has a staff of experienced solar designers who love nothing more than to speak to folks about their project and needs, and help translate that into what system/components would be best.

There are plenty of great researchers talking about the Grand Solar Minimum and its effects — the focus here at IAF is on SOLUTIONS: Helping to build self-sufficiency and food sovereignty to thrive in the challenging times ahead.
In this interview, we speak with Diamond from the Oppenheimer Ranch Project, who is already an Ice Age Farmer, putting in practice permaculture philosophies in high alpine environment with challenging growing season!
Diamond has been working in this direction for years, and I am thrilled to have him on the show to share some of his knowledge.
Due to a technical issue, the show was interrupted early, but we both had so much fun that we agreed to make this the first of a series. Stay tuned.
We do speak to:
* What has worked for him, and what hasn’t
* Animals and considerations for how they will fare in the coming colder seasons
* Whether indoor growing makes sense
* Permaculture concepts applied to both growing and living spaces
* Keeping various types of greenhouses running at different points in the season
Trust in God, but row away from the rocks. Today IAF discusses the events of the week, which were really quite severe and alarming, but should serve only to increase our resolve to map a path to prosperity in the Grand Solar Minimum.
2. Icebreaker: Grand Solar Minimum Symptoms (7:30)
There are several lessons learned from studying very early global cooling events in Europe. See also the discussion of the Great Famine of 1315 in Episode 5.
Onset of these conditions can be very abrupt and very severe.
A decline in food production due to:
Dramatic increase in days with overcast skies.
Decline in the intensity of sunlight.
Decline by several degrees in global temperature
Regions of massive rainfall and flooding
Limited regions experienced droughts
Shortened growing season
A string of major and minor famines
Malnutrition lead to weakened immune system. Produced influenza epidemics.
Reoccurrence of plagues such as the Black Plague.
Lack of feed for livestock
Parasites (i.e. fusarium nivale), which thrived under snow cover, devastated crops.
Grain storage in cool damp conditions produced fungus (Ergot Blight). Contaminated grains when consumed caused an illness (St. Anthony’s Fire) producing convulsions, hallucinations, gangrenous rotting of extremities.
Flooding created swamplands that became mosquito breeding grounds and introduced tropical diseases such as malaria throughout Europe.
During hot summers, cold air aloft produced killer hailstorms (hailstones that could kill a cow).
Higher frequency of powerful storms produced major devastations.
Glacier advance swallowed up entire alpine villages.
Ruptured glacial ice dams produced deadly floods.
Drastic increase in seismic activity (earthquake, volcano)
Last time, shared a piece about how re-planted corn (after late frost) required additional time to mature

Today: IAF takes a step back, and starts from the beginning: the philosophies of organic/biodynamic/no-till farming begin with good soil husbandry. Natural
cycles. Updates on crop losses in Norway, Germany, Indiana.

3. Special: Intro to Self Sufficient Gardening: Natural Cycles and Soil – 12:43
SIX RULES of organic philosophy according to John Seymour’s 1980 “Self Sufficient Gardener”:
1. Work with, not against, nature.
2. Nature is diverse; so too must we practice diversity.
3. Must husband other forms of life in environments as close as possible to those in which that life evolved.
4. Must return to the soil as much as we remove/harvest from it (law of conservation I’d energy at work)
5. Feed the soil, not the plant
6.must observe nature as a whole, never any single part of it.

Fungus making leaves change/drop, even in August
http://www.wcvb.com/article/fungus-attacking-trees-giving-sign-of-fall-in-the-summer/12010669A
(if it IS a fungus, this is an effect of the wet summer, thanks to GSM.
if it’s not, then the leaves are changing/dropping too early, fall coming soon.
either way, this is due to the changes in the sun’s output, and concerning).
Norway’s farmers’ harvests PITIFUL
Just as David Dilley described, cooling/warming start from the poles, moves inward.
Makes sense to see it there first, although:
Gerd and Olaf have been farmers for almost 40 years. They have never experienced a worse summer.
“The animals do not want to go into this shit either,” says Olaf. “And if they go, their teats get dirty, and then milk quality can be a problem.”

1. Daily Steps: folks from IAF community share experiences, lessons, and progress towards food security
A few folks starting moringa, glad to see.
Great Laker: successfully merged five young pullets in to a coop of older hens and they are all getting along, ( harder than it sounds) I sewed a bunch of gauze (tule) bags and put them over my heirloom pepper plants to keep them from cross pollinating. I did some cleaning in my greenhouse of the stuff left behind from growing seedlings earlier. The rest of the day I sat around watching youtube videos, especially ones about raising rabbits. A project maybe for next year.
Rockers 78: put terraced shelves along the afternoon sun side brick wall with 5 shelves and grew different veggies on each shelf, trying something new. You would be surprised on how much food one needs to grow to support a family. I would recommend to grow 60% of whatever grows well for you, that you can trade others who garden
Jim: attempting to build with
Me: blackberries. scratched all over, fingers are purple. need more, they go fast on my son’s pancakes
ton of starts in the AP
Moringa — the two biggest were getting some spots, leaf rot. may be that had been watering from above, saw a mold that can result. did repot them, both in one huge pot — mistake?
Moved the two dwarf moringa starts in high-intensity lighting zone, since they’re struggling

4. Questions:
Zach: how to inform others, it sounds crazy to them, they don’t believe it, i don’t want them to think i’ve gone insane
great question. can only share as much with someone as they are willing to hear. but do that!
the important part is that WE ALL SHARE THIS INFORMATION — when people hear a little bit from 3 different directions, they start to pay attention, and will TURN ON and investigate themselves
that is among the reasons i do this show.
it’s not until they TURN ON that they can be receptive, it’s just the way it is
I’m empathetic person,
I’ve been thinking a lot about this as well, because there’s a huge component of GRIEF
Grief’s first stage is denial.
Denial is supported by the MEDIA, who are also DENIAL, and in fact FULL FORCE AGENDA WARMING
as well as by the PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHO DON’T KNOW
why grieve? for the future we no longer have, for our children, for the ability to live in the reality that everyone else around us still is plugged into; it’s a matrix moment
why fear? for loss of abundance, food, water, loss of civil society and physical security, famine/war, the cryptocratic state using hunger to control people, …
can be helpful, to write or enumerate, as i just did: write down what’s been lost, or what you fear
then do the same for what we can celebrate:
collapse of the absolutely, perfectly corrupt economy
demise of anyone who watches reality television
a return — a requisite one, but a return nonetheless — to living in harmony with nature, and human community
a rebirth
hold these things close.
Back on grief/denial :: it’s really important to wake up each morning and “set an intention,” remind yourself of your own conclusions and convictions, and follow through on acting on them, throughout the day.
I really feel for all of us, who are gaining this knowledge, and really celebrate those of us who integrate it into their life, and make positive changes.
these are hard conclusions, but they are supported by hard data.
as for continuing to appear sane to those around you, i’ll offer you F Scott Fitzgerald:
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. F. Scott Fitzgerald
with that, Ep 8 IAF, Mapping a path forward to prosperity through resilient, self-sufficient communities; sharing knowledge in the GSM
a period during which solar activity diminishes, resulting in drastic climatic and geophysical changes to our planet. These include increased galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), seismic activity, and volcanism; the latter often results in a global reduction in temperatures (see “the year without a summer” — and much more on the IAF wiki).
