Useless to me, anyway.

1. Wild birds prefer sunflower seeds to all other foods.
2. Prune juice preserves meat, according to research.
3. Hens not well-partitioned will peck at each other, often spreading disease and mitigating the benefits of free-range chicken ranching.
4. Nearly half of the fruit and vegetables consumed in the U.S. is imported.
5. An acre of crops in California generates $1,000 of local economic activity per year, in addition to the revenue earned by the farmer.
