I'm glad I got rid of the urge to try to get my garden in early. I'm still having to bring the plants in at night since there is a chance of frost (again) tomorrow morning.
We still have a bunch of assorted peppers from last season so I dehydrated around 10 lbs that was already cut up in the freezer. I'll turn this into pepper powder since that 10 lbs wound up being a little over 4 cups dried and that will make closer to less than two cups ground.

This is what you get out of 10 pounds of assorted peppers.

What type of peppers were in the mix?

That's like sorghum syrup..it takes a LOT of cane ( about 6 rows of cane, 100 feet in length thinned to 6 inches apart. ) and a lot of squeezed juice from all that cane ( ~10 gallons) to get 1 gallon of finished syrup.
(Probably same holds true for maple syrup..lots of tree taps to get a gallon)
And, from a 1200 lb steer, you'll end up with about 500 lbs packaged beef.
Live weight X .60=gutted, skinned hanging weight and again X.60 =cut, wrapped meat....more or less.
