So I've heard two things. The federal minimum wage is going to be raised to 15 dollars an hour and that the minimum wage for federal employees is going to be raised to 15 an hour. Which is it? Also, anyone got any good books/YouTube channels to recommend for gardening fruits and vegetables? I have feeling im gonna need to learn it.

For the gardening, I recommend you learn Permaculture, in the long-term, it's the way to go. For YouTube, there's so much great content. Justin Rhodes is fabulous, as is GardenGuy. It also depends on your zone and how much space you have. Justin Rhodes did a 1 year trip to all 50 states to look at small organic farms, and what he saw was amazing. It gave us a good idea of what we could do and what we wanted to do with our property. All those videos are there. Once you hit a couple key folks, then you'll find more of them. You might try and do a few chickens if you're brave. There are some other great youtube content, Arms Family Homestead, Joel Salatin (famous permaculture guy), On The Grow (for microgreens), The Elliot Homestead, Homesteady (mainly animal focus), Self Sufficient Me (garden focus-funny). This will get you going. Oh, the leader in Permaculture is Geoff Lawton, so you might find his stuff out there too, but he's mostly focused on income with his website. Any questions?
Fuckin nailed it dude, thank you. I dont have a whole lot of room, about 850 sqft that can be just for a garden to help supplement and take some pressure off the ol pocket book. I think what you've recommended will cover that.
Awesome! Yeah, everyone should start small, but it's nice to see some of the folks that have a bit more acreage to have a vision of what might be possible in your future. Good Luck! The microgreens are a great place to start becuase you can start cranking those out FAST, like 10 days! Also, you might be interested in hydroponics, that's a great way to grow inside if you some space.
