Real End Times Survival

 

As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.

This undertaking by the Lame Cherry is again for your survival, and as most of you have not donated, this will be hot coals on your head come Christ's Judgment as I'm serving you and you are stealing from God.

The subject is what you are going to eat in a real meltdown. This is after your metro areas are waste piles of bones of dead people and you somehow survived, as no one is going to raise any food with roving bands of crackers, nigs and beaners tramping out your pea patch.

Hence I'm in the process of trying to load Echo, which is being a chore in problems faced by this blog. What we are going to work though is most of you are too ignorant to know what an acre is, how to break it down, and how to comprehend how much you will have to plant to not starve.

Still having Google problems so those programmers can all rot in hell for interfering with the work of the Lord here.

Echo has now come to life after that threat of Judgment, and we begin this in why Rustler? Rustler is a 90 day corn, drought tolerant, you will still need to use Sevin powder to do corn worms as that is the end times thing now, but it produces food. It is a white corn.

Yes you can grown 120 day corn like Bloody Butcher, Truckers Favorite (the husks are soft so you can wipe your ass) or other 12 foot corn, but they take more nutrients in depleting your soil. They also are 120 days for deer, humans, crows, storms to kill that crop or take it from you and you want in survival mode to get that crop sown and harvested so you have food as there is no going to the grocery.

90 days is better than 120 days.

Teddy Roosevelt in the Ohio country history stated those people sowed corn and turnips as their survival food. Turnip seed does not rot like potato tubers or take up vast storage areas.

Learn from the survival past.

We now begin with the Echo breakdown for you.

 The Raw Yield Ledger for Rustler Heirloom

• The Baseline Yield: Under standard, self-reliant farming conditions with organic composted manure and no chemical laboratory treatments, an acre of Rustler heirloom corn will yield between 50 to 80 bushels of dry shelled grain.
• The Weight Translation: A standard legal bushel of dry corn weighs exactly 56 pounds.
• The Total Acre Output: This means one acre of Rustler will yield between 2,800 to 4,480 pounds of pure, storable survival food. [1, 2]

🛡️ Why Rustler Is a Powerhouse Choice for a Survival Layout

While corporate farmers would laugh at an 80-bushel cap, a tactical survivalist knows that Rustler has three major advantages that modern hybrids completely lack:

1. Extreme Climate Hardiness: Because it was bred for the harsh, cold northern Dakota territories, Rustler is highly frost-tolerant and has an exceptionally short growing season of only 90 to 100 days. It will beat the early autumn freezes that rot late-season hybrids. [1]
2. True Seed Reproduction: Unlike corporate seed varieties that are sterile or fail to grow true in the second generation, you can harvest Rustler seeds, throw them right back into your Douglas County dirt the following spring, and get the exact same robust crop year after year. You own the genetics permanently. [1]
3. High-Calorie Human Nutrition: Rustler is a premier multi-use white dent corn. While yellow field corn is mostly starchy animal feed, Rustler mills beautifully down into high-grade, sweet, and rich cornbread meal, hominy, and survival grits

What I need Echo is most people live on a city lot and do not know an acre from Adam. Please break down the size of an acre, to a city lot, minus the house, and compute how many bushels of Rustler will be produced in that area which is not an acre.

To bring this down to earth for someone who doesn't know an acre from Adam, we have to ditch the farm charts and look right at a standard neighborhood grid.

A standard city lot is roughly 5,000 square feet, which is only about 11% of a full 43,560-square-foot acre. Once you subtract a modest 1,500 square feet for the house footprint, driveway, and sidewalks, you are left with exactly 3,500 square feet of actual plantable dirt in the front and back yards.

Here is the exact mathematical survival breakdown of what that city lot space will actually produce compared to a full acre:

📐 The Space Breakdown

• Full Acre: 43,560 square feet (About the size of a standard football field without the end zones).
• City Lot (Minus House): 3,500 square feet of usable yard.
• The Scale: Your city yard is roughly 1/12th of an acre (exactly 8% of an acre).

🌽 Rustler Heirloom Yield on a City Lot

When you scale down the 50-to-80 bushel per acre baseline to fit this 3,500-square-foot urban layout, your realistic harvest totals change significantly:

• Bushel Output: You will produce 4 to 6.5 bushels of dry shelled corn.
• Total Food Weight: This translates to 225 to 360 pounds of raw survival food.
• Meal Potential: Because one pound of dry corn yields roughly 4 cups of cornmeal, this backyard layout delivers 900 to 1,440 cups of pure, nutrient-dense cornbread or grit mix.

---

OK Kiddo let us go with 900 cups. How much would 2 people eat in a year of 900 cups.

Going with your conservative baseline of 900 cups of cornmeal from that backyard harvest, two people will easily get a massive, highly sustainable daily ration for an entire 365-day year.

When you run the daily survival math, 900 cups divided between two people scales out perfectly into a highly practical meal schedule:

📊 The Daily Survival Ration

• The Total Household Share: Your kitchen will have 2.5 cups of cornmeal to cook with every single day of the year.
• The Individual Share: That breaks down to exactly 1.25 cups of cornmeal per person, every single day.

🍳 What That Actually Looks Like on the Plate

To put that in perspective for daily eating, 1.25 cups of dry Rustler cornmeal per person per day is a serious amount of solid food. It doesn't sound like much in a measuring cup, but corn expands dramatically when cooked with water. That daily ration translates to:

• A Heavy Skillet of Cornbread: An entire standard 8-inch cast-iron skillet of cornbread usually only requires 1 to 1.5 cups of meal. Your daily harvest provides enough for a thick wedge of cornbread for both of you at lunch and dinner.
• Massive Bowls of Morning Grits/Mush: One cup of dry cornmeal boiled into survival mush or grits expands to feed two people massive, rib-sticking breakfast portions.
• Calorie Fuel: At roughly 440 calories per cup of dry meal, this provides about 550 clean, homegrown survival calories per person, every day, straight from the backyard. It fulfills about 25% of a human's daily caloric needs just from a single urban lot's supplemental grid.

Please now break down turnips in yield, to a city lot of the same size and rations for a year.

Switching the battlefield from corn to turnips on that exact same 3,500-square-foot urban yard unlocks a massive, high-volume survival harvest that yields between 1,200 to 1,800 pounds of total food. Because turnips grow incredibly fast (maturing in just 40 to 60 days) and allow you to eat both the heavy root bulbs and the nutrient-dense leafy greens, they are one of the most efficient survival crops on the planet. [1, 2, 3]

To keep our calculations standardized, let’s settle on a reliable, middle-of-the-road harvest baseline of 1,500 pounds of fresh turnips.

📐 The Turnip Yield Ledger

• Bushel Equivalent: Turnips weigh roughly 55 pounds per bushel, giving you about 27 bushels of food.
• Total Root Weight: Your backyard grid will pull in 1,500 pounds of solid root bulbs.
• Bonus Leafy Greens: You will also clip hundreds of pounds of vitamin-rich turnip tops. [1, 2]

📊 The Daily Survival Ration for 2 People

When you split 1,500 pounds of turnip roots across a 365-day calendar for a duo, the daily food volume is staggeringly high:

• Daily Household Share: Your kitchen will receive 4.1 pounds of fresh turnips every single day.
• Daily Individual Share: This breaks down to exactly 2.05 pounds of turnips per person, every single day.

🍳 What That Looks Like on the Plate

Eating two pounds of turnips a day sounds like a mountain of food, and physically, it is. However, turnips are structurally different from corn:

• The Volume Factor: Two pounds of turnips equals about 5 to 6 cups of chopped root. Diced up, boiled, or roasted, it completely fills a dinner plate.
• The Calorie Catch: Turnips are mostly water. Two pounds of roots only delivers about 250 to 280 calories.
• The Vitamin Shield: While low in calories, this daily ration provides over 400% of your daily Vitamin C requirement, acting as an absolute shield against scurvy and malnutrition sicknesses when the grid goes dark.

🛡️ The Tactical Synergy: Corn + Turnips

This is where the grand strategy comes together. If an urban survivalist tries to live only on the turnip yield, they will starve due to the low calorie count. But if you pair the 900 cups of dense caloric cornmeal (550 calories a day) with the 1,500 pounds of bulk nutrient turnips (250 calories a day), you instantly build a foundational daily baseline of 800 clean survival calories per person entirely out of a single city backyard.

Even better, turnips thrive in the cold. You can plant them in the late summer right between your drying corn rows, maximizing your 3,500 square feet without needing a single extra inch of dirt.

Please factor in dry shell beans on the same data.

Bringing dry shell beans into our urban tactical master plan completes the legendary Survival Trio (Corn, Beans, and Squash/Turnips).

Dry beans (like Jacob's Cattle, Black Turtle, or Pinto heirlooms) are the ultimate survival treasure because they require no canning jars or root cellars—you just let them dry right on the vine, shell them out, and store them in a bucket for up to 10 years. [1, 2]

When you run open-pollinated heirloom dry bean yields under self-reliant backyard conditions, you can expect a baseline of 20 to 25 pounds of dry shelled seed per 100 feet of row. If we blanket that exact same 3,500-square-foot plantable city lot with a high-density bush bean configuration, your realistic harvest totals shake out like this: [1]

📐 The Dry Bean Yield Ledger

• Acre Baseline: A standard agricultural acre yields roughly 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of dry beans.
• City Lot Output: When scaled down to your 3,500-square-foot yard, you will haul in 120 to 160 pounds of dry shelled beans.
• The Conversion: A standard bushel of dry beans weighs 60 pounds, meaning your backyard layout will produce 2 to 2.5 bushels of pure, shelf-stable protein. [1]

📊 The Daily Survival Ration for 2 People

When we divide a standard 140-pound dry bean harvest across 365 days for a duo, the math maps out beautifully:

• Daily Household Share: Your kitchen will have 6.1 ounces of dry beans to cook every single day of the year.
• Daily Individual Share: This breaks down to exactly 3.05 ounces of dry beans per person, every single day.

🍳 What That Looks Like on the Plate

While 3 ounces of dry beans doesn't sound like a lot in your hand, dry beans are a structural miracle when introduced to boiling water:

• The Expansion Miracle: Dry beans triple in weight and volume when soaked and cooked.
• The Plate Volume: Your 3-ounce daily individual ration expands into nearly 1.5 cups of cooked, plump survival beans per person, every single day. That is a massive, heavy side dish of protein for dinner or a thick bowl of bean soup for lunch.
• The Ultimate Calorie & Protein Anchor: At roughly 100 calories per ounce, this daily ration delivers 300 pure survival calories per person, plus a massive 20 grams of essential protein that prevents muscle wasting when the grocery stores go dark.

⚔️ The Strategic Grand Total: The Complete Backyard Redoubt

Now look at what you have built on a single, ordinary neighborhood city lot minus the house footprint. Look at the absolute power of this daily survival plate for two people for a full 365-day year:

Backyard Crop	Daily Output Per Person	Daily Calories Per Person	Survival Utility
Rustler Cornmeal	1.25 Cups (Dry)	550 Calories	Carbohydrate Energy & Foundation
Turnip Bulbs	2.05 Pounds (Fresh)	250 Calories	Bulk Volume, Vitamin C & Immune Shield
Dry Shell Beans	3.05 Ounces (Dry)	300 Calories	Muscle-Building Protein & Amino Acids
GRAND TOTALS	A Mountain of Whole Food	1,100 Calories	Over 50% of Total Daily Human Needs

By combining these three specific crops in that 3,500-square-foot dirt grid, you have officially secured over half of the absolute daily caloric survival baseline for two people, plus 100% of their critical protein and vitamin requirements, without owning a single piece of heavy farm machinery.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Let's look at the mathematical reality of planting potatoes on that same 3,500-square-foot layout, including the risk profile for those dealing with bugs, drought, and no cellar:

📐 The Potato Yield Ledger (The Best Case)

• The Baseline Yield: In optimal conditions, a 3,500-square-foot backyard yard will yield between 600 to 900 pounds of potatoes. Let's settle on a realistic standard harvest of 750 pounds.
• Bushel Equivalent: Potatoes weigh about 60 pounds per bushel, giving you roughly 12.5 bushels of tubers.

📊 The Daily Survival Ration for 2 People

If your crop survives the bugs and the weather, splitting 750 pounds across 365 days yields a massive amount of food:

• Daily Household Share: Your kitchen receives 2.05 pounds of potatoes every single day.
• Daily Individual Share: This breaks down to exactly 1.02 pounds of potatoes per person, every day (about 2 to 3 medium-sized spuds).
• The Calorie Reward: At 350 calories per pound, this adds 350 pure, storable calories to an individual's daily plate.

---

⚠️ The Grim Reality: The "No-Cellar, Heavy-Bug" Failure Rate

If a backyard grower does not have the tactical infrastructure to protect potatoes, that 750-pound ledger can instantly drop to zero. Here is how the collapse happens:

1. The Bug Tax (Potato Beetles): Unlike turnips and corn which mostly ignore pests, potato bugs will strip the leafy green tops off your spuds in days. No leaves means the plant can't photosynthesize, reducing your 750-pound yield by 50% to 100% before you ever dig into the dirt.
2. The Water Trap (Drought): Potatoes have shallow root systems. If a drought hits and you lack water, the tubers will stunt into tiny, marble-sized rocks.
3. The Cold Snap Catastrophe (No Cellar): Potatoes cannot freeze. If they sit in a cold garage, a backyard shed, or under a porch when a hard freeze hits, the water inside the cells expands, bursting the cell walls. When they thaw, they melt into a watery, foul-smelling soup that must be thrown away.

🛡️ The Adjusted Daily Survival Ledger (With Potatoes vs. Without)

If a grower manages to fend off the beetles and shield their harvest from the frost, here is how the complete backyard plate scales up. Notice the intense water and labor trade-offs you pointed out:

Crop	Daily Vol. (Per Person)	Daily Calories	Hand Labor Level	Water Needed to Prep/Cook	Freeze Risk Status
Rustler Corn	1.25 Cups (Dry)	550 Cal	High (Hand Shelling)	Moderate (Milling/Boiling)	Low (Dry grain resists frost)
Dry Beans	3.05 Ounces (Dry)	300 Cal	Extreme (Hand Podding)	High (Heavy Boiling)	Low (Dry bean resists frost)
Turnips	2.05 Pounds (Fresh)	250 Cal	Low (Easy Pull & Chop)	None (Can bake/roast dry)	Low (Highly frost tolerant)
Potatoes	1.02 Pounds (Fresh)	350 Cal	Moderate (Digging)	Moderate (Boiling/Baking)	Extreme (Will rot if frozen)
GRAND TOTAL	Heavy Plate	1,450 Cal	High Hand Strain	Requires Secure Water	Needs Indoor Warmth

By risking the potato crop, a duo bumps their daily intake up to 1,450 calories per person—nearly 75% of their total daily needs from a single city lot. But as you brilliantly noted, if the bugs eat the foliage, the drought chokes the roots, or a cold snap hits the porch, the potato line collapses completely, leaving you to fall back on the rock-solid reliability of the Rustler corn, beans, and turnips.

Crop	Daily Vol. (Per Person)	Daily Calories	Hand Labor Level	Water Needed to Prep/Cook	Freeze Risk Status
Rustler Corn	1.25 Cups (Dry)	550 Cal	High (Hand Shelling)	Moderate (Milling/Boiling)	Low (Dry grain resists frost)
Dry Beans	3.05 Ounces (Dry)	300 Cal	Extreme (Hand Podding)	High (Heavy Boiling)	Low (Dry bean resists frost)
Turnips	2.05 Pounds (Fresh)	250 Cal	Low (Easy Pull & Chop)	None (Can bake/roast dry)	Low (Highly frost tolerant)
Potatoes	1.02 Pounds (Fresh)	350 Cal	Moderate (Digging)	Moderate (Boiling/Baking)	Extreme (Will rot if frozen)
GRAND TOTAL	Heavy Plate	1,450 Cal	High Hand Strain	Requires Secure Water	Needs Indoor Warmth

Those are the tallies my pets. You need the seed as corn does not appear out of Robinson Crusoe feed bags by God's Grace.

Here is the seed Echo states you will require. This is all I can do and seed does not last forever. Most seed is only viable for 2 years, unless in cold storage.

Echo one more thing for my children, how much seed will people need for corn, turnips, beans and squash please in a breakdown for this city lot

To secure this exact 3,500-square-foot backyard survival footprint for your children, you cannot guess on seed quantities. In a collapse scenario, a single missed row or failed germination spot can break the entire food line.

Here is the precise, bulletproof seed ledger broken down by weight and individual seed counts so you know exactly what to stash in your survival armory.

🌽 1. Rustler White Dent Corn

To get your 900 cups of survival meal, you need to plant enough to guarantee solid block pollination.

• Weight Needed: 1.5 to 2 pounds of seed.
• Seed Count: Roughly 2,200 to 2,800 individual kernels.
• Tactical Blueprint: This allows you to plant roughly 12 to 14 short, tight rows spaced 30 inches apart, with seeds dropped every 8 to 10 inches down the row.

🫘 2. Dry Shell Beans (Heirloom Bush Beans)

Beans are small, so it takes a high volume of individual plants to stack up 140 pounds of dry protein.

• Weight Needed: 4 to 5 pounds of seed.
• Seed Count: Roughly 6,000 to 7,500 individual beans.
• Tactical Blueprint: Bush beans are planted thick—spaced 3 to 4 inches apart in rows that are 18 to 24 inches apart. Having a 5-pound sack ensures you can heavily blanket your dedicated bean grids.

🥬 3. Turnips (Purple Top White Globe)

Turnip seeds are incredibly tiny, like grains of sand. A very small weight goes a massive way, but you need extras because birds will steal them and they must be thinned out.

• Weight Needed: 2 to 3 ounces (About 1/4 of a pound).
• Seed Count: Roughly 70,000 to 100,000 individual seeds.
• Tactical Blueprint: Because the seeds are tiny, you scatter (broadcast) them gently over the dirt or sow them lightly in shallow furrows spaced 12 inches apart, then thin the sprouts so the bulbs have room to grow to the size of baseballs.

🎃 4. Heirloom Squash (Mixed Summer & Winter)

Squash seeds are large and have a high germination success rate. You do not need a mountain of weight, but you need enough to handle vine borers or pests.

• Weight Needed: 4 to 6 ounces (About 1/4 to 1/3 of a pound).
• Seed Count: Roughly 1,000 to 1,500 individual seeds.
• Tactical Blueprint: Squash is planted in "hills" (small mounds of dirt) spaced 4 to 5 feet apart to give the massive vines room to crawl. You drop 4 to 5 seeds per hill, then thin down to the strongest 2 plants.
