The start of a new year is the start of another cycle of our lives, and the sky's the limit; it's all about what you're willing to risk in the now so that you can hopefully gain so much more in the end.
Last year I completed my resolution of purchasing some land, and my resolution this year is getting a stable wild rice crop growing in my pond. It's a difficult crop to grow and especially to harvest, since it's popular with all the native wildlife and they'll all want their share, but if you do it just right, you can make off with quite the harvest. Wild rice is a really popular crop with tourists in northern Wisconsin, and you can sell a pound of it from anywhere from 5 to 10 bucks. Additionally, if you knock off some seeds into the pond as you're harvesting, you effectively replant for the following year with relatively little work involved. It's an absolutely perfect staple crop if you can get it to take in your soil.

What are you folks absolutely set on getting done in the year of 2019? Don't be shy.
