Rob have you thought about planting sunflowers?  That would make some 
sweet milk, too.  There's always buckwheat, too.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public 
debt  should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered 
and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed 
lest Rome become bankrupt.  People must again learn to work, instead of 
living on public assistance."
