My "green" way to solve this is to keep part of my "back lawn" cut down by grazing some cattle which is going to happen this next year. I leased a few acres to a "neighbor" to graze some of his cattle on my property. Of course it creates cow farts which supposedly is not "green", but it does raise grass fed beef which is better than most commercial beef. I get cash (of course taxed as "income") and meat for letting the guy do it. I'll probably get me a few goats, but not necessarily for grass. There is a massive vine problem in some areas (I think Kudzu?) as well as numerous saplings that need to stay in check. However it's going to produce goat farts. Are they as "bad" as cow farts? I can't get them until I put the infrastructure in place for them (shelter). The problem is that I don't like goat meat so I would have to get rid of them when they are ready for slaughter and I don't know if there is much demand for that. As far as the deal with my neighbor, I'll basically get 2 cows a year. How much beef it turns out to be will depend on their weight when we slaughter them. It should be plenty enough to fill my freezers and give some to my other family members. Once we are a bit more established chickens and pigs might be added. Combine the animals and the trees/garden that we have planned we will almost be self-sustaining. What kills me right now is that I'm burning whole trees (mostly hickory and oak). I have more wood than I know what to do with it. My wife wants to sell firewood and that's fine, she has the time for it (she retired this year). I don't have the time for it right now. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
