Healthy soil and sustainable growing

And the more that folks do just that the less demand there will be for 
fossil fuels and their substitutes.

Sometimes contributions are different then we might expect.  I live about 10 
miles out of town - that is 50 hilly minutes on a bike unencumbered so I 
drive because I deliver the milk to my customers instead of having them come 
to me.  I go to town 3 times a week.  I figure I save a minimum of 600 miles 
a week of driving by bringing the milk to my customers instead of them 
coming to me.  My hay (no chemicals since 1999 but not certified) comes from 
less then 60 miles away - they are on pasture during the day - and the grain 
from about 150 miles away from the grower.  The law says they are supposed 
to come to me but I just cant justify the waste.
