Authoritative execution evidence cluster — East Tennessee (index)

Evidence summary

Field Content
Abstract One-page router from agency, extension, and official-operator ingests to the East Tennessee two-site business plan, parcel workflow, and security posture—grouped by theme (soils, rents, tax, FSA, farmOS, CISA, field ops).
Authority mix Agency + Extension + vendor primary docs (captures); not legal or engineering advice.
Decision relevance Informs V*/G* validation, parcel worksheets, NASS rent context, septic/811 process pointers, remote-access hardening references, off-grid / WAN evidence indexes.
Canonical wiki links East Tennessee two-site farm business plan (package) · Tennessee farm business compliance package · Local site and county intelligence · Execution readiness gap audit

Key claims (public-safe):

  • USDA NASS and NRCS publications in the vault support county-level and practice framing; parcel-specific soils and permits still require WSS sessions and local authority.
  • TN Revenue and agritourism captures are time-stamped references—verify current law before decisions.
  • CISA PDFs support OT/remote-access hygiene themes for homelab/farm edge—not a substitute for org-specific risk assessment.

Open questions / follow-ups

  • AOI soils clip and field-measured loads remain outside this index—see site intelligence and missing-data pages.

Purpose: Single hub listing high-authority ingested sources that reduce uncertainty for operational, financial, and regulatory questions in the East Tennessee two-site scenario. This page is an index, not a substitute for reading primary materials or engaging professionals (legal, tax, PE, vet).

After ingest — how this fits the spine (agency/extension catalog; not parcel truth): Package East Tennessee two-site farm business plan → this cluster (tables below) → local router Local site and county intelligence (named counties/places, validation, gaps) → site intelligence analyses (Claxton/Demory). Diagnosis of visibility gaps: Ingest visibility gap — authoritative evidence vs published wiki (East Tennessee).

Synthesis: Execution readiness gap audit — East Tennessee operational knowledge. Campaign backlog: Business plan source-ingest campaign.
