Books I read in the 90s, mostly; remember that while 6-8 bushels was possible, that wasn't by any imagination the norm. In Egypt, where yields of 25 do happen, the farms are also much, much smaller than 30 acres.<br /><br />Some searching on line gave me <a href="http://www.pensee.com/dunham/facts/food.html" rel="nofollow">these numbers</a>, supporting my position. But you can get others if you search. It is a question of who you want to believe.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-47880961424193348722014-09-22T03:12:45.235-06:002014-09-22T03:12:45.235-06:00Hi, I have no idea if you answer a question on an ...Hi, I have no idea if you answer a question on an old post, but I'll try. First of all, I'm very impressed by your work, that's why I'm reading your old posts. <br /><br />The question: You write that "yields where typically 1,3 bushels per acre." You say this is paltry, but isn't it way to low?can I ask where you have this from?<br />My sources says a net yield of 6-10 bushels (they vary), and as high as 25 in areas such as the Nile area in Egypt.Joikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13371604283569861375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-88501514954556120442009-05-01T12:37:00.000-06:002009-05-01T12:37:00.000-06:00Will you move towards how to stock those types of ...<I>Will you move towards how to stock those types of areas with treasure, in this system?</I>Step by step, hopefully.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-65968608132444370052009-05-01T11:43:00.000-06:002009-05-01T11:43:00.000-06:00This is really fascinating.

And I'm curious how this will affect treasure distribution in more ancient locales. I'm assuming in your world, if I really wanted to, I could go raid Egypt and plumb the pyramids and tombs at Giza. Will you move towards how to stock those types of areas with treasure, in this system?Michael S/Chgowizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052820400496340137noreply@blogger.com
