[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8188026, member: 93670"] "Profit" implies trade. Moonshine requires sugar & cornmeal. The guy I used to get it from even swore on using a specific brand. Did your great uncle grow sugarcane & refine it into sugar as well? What about the processed cornmeal... did he grow the corn dry it & grind/flake it into meal for the mash too? Sugarcane is grown semilocally here & requires a lot to farm despite being capable of kinda growing wild into something that is still technically a sugarcane plant. Processing & refining sugar is a whole involved ordeal that involves significant amounts of work along with specialized equipment just as the corn to cornmeal process. Also "garden" is rarely the term used for a plot of land you expect to produce all of the fruit vegetables grains & meats that you will be eating year round as that describes a farm with one or more fields. Having a garden you get some vegetables & a small chicken coop that produces eggs plus the occasional chicken on top of the food you buy through trade at a store is very different than the situation presented for that regular farmer halfling not even special enough to get a name till I called him bob for the sake of discussion.
