Amen Paul!
I still live on the family farm. I can only do so much towards
building the land back to were it was when my Dad was alive. I have 2
brothers. The older is a horse person, the younger is just begining
to get interested in farming and has really taken a liking to my
sheep. He is very anilitical in his methods, and very bull headed in
how he thinks things should be done, which is fine because at least he
is trying. I haven't been able to get him onboard with the no til
garden or using manure only for fertilizer, but he is noticing the big
difference in the spots the sheep and goats have been. I'm moving to
my own place in 4 years an I think by then I will have him convienced
LOL.

Just a personal note - folks, I hope we continue to avoid the shrill rants
and guilt trips about sustainability that I see on some other lists, from
certain persons. It seems a bit silly to see some of those people
criticize others' energy usage when they haven't done all they can where
they live. We just share information here and hope its useful in our
efforts. As list owner my own bias is toward more personal freedom and
responsibility - not some misguided ecofascism. We learn and grow and see
what we can do with what we learn. We all have different gifts and needs.
