I want to buy or lease about 900 to 1000 acres of land that is tillable, as well as buy some timber. On these farms there will be turkey houses, chicken houses that produce eggs, cows, pigs, fruit trees including, strawberries, blue berries, and other berry plants, field corn, soy beans, hay, straw, vegetables of all seasonal assortments, etc. Then I want the Purdue University Students to manage these farms for profit. These funds will stay in each farm. The JOBS there will consist of full time employment as well as part time. Part time employment will be available to anyone 16 years and up. The shifts for these jobs would range from Sunday to Thursday and Thursday to Sunday. There will be employment year-round. The salary could be $8/hr or more depending on the job, plus what they make off of the farm. The market will determine how much you make. If we have plenty of food available, it will go to food banks within 50 miles from the farm to feed the poor.
HOUSING: if you live more than 50 miles from the farm, we will provide you with housing. I don't want you to be so tried you can't work or, worse, fall asleep behind the wheel on your way home. This housing will be FREE because you will be on the farm. I want to have apartment complex built on these farms.
FOOD: We will have a 24 hour cafeteria on the farm. The food will mostly be what we grow here on the farm. There is NO reason why this won't work. This will create jobs for the young and older people of Indiana. I hope to have 6 farms, we will start with 2 (one in the south and one in the north). Then 2 more my second year and the other 2 the following.. It will cost the tax payers about $2.5 million to start each farm, but as they make money it will be paid back to taxpayers over 5 yrs. Then no money will be taken from taxpayers. All profits go to the farms for employment.
Did you know that your interstate highways are subbed out on mowing? They are paying these people anywhere from $200,000 or more per year to maintain the grass along the interstates. Each farm will be responsible for so much highway. I think we can mow for half of what they are doing it for. Put half of this money in to the farm funds. MORE JOBS! Someone has to drive tractors, pick up trash, weed eat, etc. If an outsider is making money off of us, why can't we put HOOSIERS back to work? Good jobs and benefits.
will these farms have organic and NO GMO fruits and Veggies ?
