Drill baby drill

I used to see a black Hummer driving around town, complete with a “Drill, baby drill” bumper sticker.

What a fabulous slogan.

Slogans are fabulous when they use few words (two! one used twice) to unite, energize and signify a tribe. You’re either an insider or an outsider, but there were no fence sitters on this one. The slogan captured a can-do, engineering-centric, please-get-out-of-my-way, anti-intellectual, regulate-industry-less mindset that this driver (and presumably others in his tribe) could broadcast and be motivated by. In three words! A key part of the slogan is the extraneous word ‘baby’, which reinforces the
informality, the certainty and the impatience with bureaucracy. Support it or not, you have to agree that it was a great slogan. (Until it wasn’t).

Like most good political slogans, it called for something to happen in the future, something someone else would do and be responsible for, nothing that could come home to roost in a really short time. Of course, few could predict how close the future actually was. Ideally, next time you’d pick a slogan that had a much longer expiration date.

Farm Business Ideas – Making Organic Baby Food

Richard Blaine asked:

I’ve met many people throughout the years who want to be more involved in the products they sell. They want the process to begin and end with them. One great option is looking into different farm business ideas. You don’t need a huge plot of land to start many of them. One great example is making organic baby food.

All you need to start is a small garden. You’ll then grow foods that can be made into baby foods. Some ideas might be carrots, peas or other vegetables. Seeds can typically be bought very cheaply and will last you a long time. You’ll then plant your products and be sure to tend to them properly. There are many free tutorials online that will teach everything you need to know about organic farming.

Once your vegetables are ready for harvest, you will simply pick them and get started on your baby food making. Most organic baby food has no additives. So all you’ll have to do is clean and cut your vegetables and then put them into a blender and whir your way to financial success.

The best idea is to package your food in cute jars with individual labels. You’ll want to come up with a cute slogan or logo that will set your food apart from the rest. You can then sell the jars individually at farmer’s markets or you can sell your entire stock to a local organic grocery store.

Farm business ideas that focus on taking advantage of the organic book are a great way to make your own products and a great living at the same time.
