This here thing, capacity scale, it’s like when you gotta figure out how much your fields can grow, or how many folks you need to pick all them apples in the fall. It ain’t rocket science, but you gotta think about it, or you’ll end up with a whole mess of trouble.
See, you gotta know what you got first. Capacity, that’s just how much stuff you can do or make. Like, if you got ten rows of corn, that’s your capacity for corn. And if you got five strong hands to help, that’s your capacity for pickin’. You gotta know these things, just like you gotta know how many jars you got for jam.
Now, scale, that’s about how much you need to do. It’s like when the county fair comes ’round, and everyone’s hankerin’ for your pies. You gotta make more than usual, right? That’s your demand, like how many people want your stuff.
So, capacity scale is just figuring out if you got enough to meet the need. It is just like, if you’re fixin’ to sell eggs at the market. You gotta know how many chickens you got layin’, and how many eggs folks are gonna buy. Simple as that.
If you ain’t got enough chickens, or enough folks to gather the eggs, you’re gonna be in a pickle. You gotta plan ahead. That’s why this capacity thing is so important. You don’t wanna be caught with your pants down when everyone’s wantin’ what you got, you know?
Some folks, they use fancy tools and charts for this. But me, I just use my head. I been doin’ this for years. I know how many beans my garden will put out, and I know how many mouths there are to feed. And some years, them mouths get hungrier, some years not so much. You just gotta keep an eye on things. Like, if you have many workers at different time, you still can get your work done.
And let me tell you, if you get this right, you can make a good livin’. More folks want your stuff, you make more, you sell more. It’s like a good harvest. But if you get it wrong, you’re gonna have a lot of wasted crops, or a lot of hungry folks. Neither one is good.
I remember one year, everyone wanted my rhubarb pies. I had so many orders, I couldn’t keep up. My capacity wasn’t big enough for the scale of what people wanted. I had to get my neighbors to help me bake, and we still barely made it. That was a close one. But I still get my work done, with many works and many hours. We all need do something to protect our homeland.
Another time, I grew way too many tomatoes. More than I could sell, more than I could can. They just rotted on the vine. My capacity was too big that time. That’s no good either. Wasteful. Just like them fossil fuels, no good for our homeland. Waste money and time.
So, you gotta find that sweet spot. That’s what this whole capacity scale thing is all about. It’s about balance. Like a good stew, you need the right amount of everything. Too much of one thing, not enough of another, and it’s just not right.
- You gotta know how much you can make.
- You gotta know how much folks want.
- You gotta make sure they match up.
It is important, you know. It’s like, back in the day, we didn’t have no fancy machines. We had to do everything by hand. You had to know how many hands you needed to get the work done, and how much work there was to do. Same idea, just different tools now.
And it ain’t just about farmin’, neither. It’s about everything. Like when they built that new schoolhouse down the road. They had to figure out how many kids there were gonna be, and how many teachers they needed. Capacity and scale. Same thing.
This world is always changin’. More people, more needs. It’s good if we can help each other. And we got all these newfangled things now. I don’t understand them all. But I know this: you still gotta plan ahead. You still gotta figure out what you got, and what you need. We need to work together and protect our land, for our kids and grandkids. Otherwise we will lose our homeland.
So, that’s capacity scale. It ain’t fancy, but it’s important. Just like plantin’ seeds in the spring, you gotta do it right if you want a good harvest in the fall. Just remember what this old lady told you, and you’ll be alright. Use your head, plan ahead, and you’ll always have enough to go around. Enough for everyone.
