Thank you Douglas, Scott, Dylan, Lisa, and Steve!  Always appreciate advice
from people with solid hands-on experience.  Lespedeza was mentioned during
the goat exchange as a possibility, and my wife and Steve both mentioned
wormwood.  Sounds like Russian/Autumn olive is more trouble than it's worth,
as kudzu would be, even if they're just doing their job!
 
I think I'll try the Siberian pea shrub, maybe in a semi-shade location since
it's so bloody hot down here, and I was already considering planting black
walnuts in the "back 40" between a mature pecan and hackberry - see if I can
get a Hemenway-style, juglone-neutralizing walnut guild going.  For blacks it
takes two to fruit; I assume I could plant them in the same hole to save
space?  Anyone done this?
 
Possible chance of buying the 1/4 acre and house next door to us for under
$5000!  That would double our garden and give us the option of housing a
wwoofer for the season starting 2011.  Under 10k for 2 houses and a half acre
in town.  There will always be options for the flexible!
 
Thanks again, guys.
Tripp out.

You might look into the various lespedezas native and exotic, some have
been used as commercial forage crops.

I've read that birdsfoot trefoil helps sheep with parasites due to the
tannin content.

I have seen very small-scale salt evaporation projects in both Washington
state and southeast Alaska. Also, many northwest pacific coastal tribes
relied on seaweed for their salt. When we gather it for drying, we often find
visible salt crystals on the leaves. Some methods of preserving salmon
involve first wrapping the fish in layers of seaweed.
