Look around our site and here you will find many solutions to farming low energy in the future. At MyBackAchers - we believe the solutions to the economic, energy and food crisis all come from the farm.

Learn More About the Problems facing Small Sustainable Farmers: The General Issues - Peak Oil, Economy in Crisis, Genetically Modified Crops (and the Health Problems they cause). We spent 3 years working on the Energy for the Farm issue (conserve and then power up by a multiple of means) and have addressed the health issues of genetically modified foods - Don't Eat That Crap. We also hoped to solve our difficult financial issues as the economy deteriorates by growing real food - nutrient dense, picked at the prime of ripeness real food. So, we have the basic plan in place for the big societal issues.

As of late, our attention is on the Small Farmer Issues - Market Barriers, Regulations and Seasonal Incomes. These issues are not being addressed by any other known group, but please send info to Brian and Sherry if you are solving these issues or know of a group dedicated to them.

Here are some of recent developments:

Our solution to high feed costs:

This is our solution to the high cost of feed and grain. The Auto-Fodder-Feeder is a sprouting system for reducing costs by 80% so it uses a fraction of the grain or feed. It does this because the grain swells to 8 times the size. this also makes it more digestible so animals get more nutrients out of it. We will use these small units for the chickens. This is a huge benefit over shelved units because they take up so little space and reduce the amount of time spent feeding.

Our solution to small electrical production:

Check out our Hydro-Electric -Water Bug for your Hydro-Power needs or our JetStove .com Site for wood fired hot water, home or barn heat- Get More Heat With Less Wood! After all- its still work to get that wood ready and plant those trees. The IEA (International Energy Agency) estimates wood for fuel needs will grow by 6+ times in the coming years. If we don't learn better burn technology now- we could risk de-foresting our land. Burn smart and plant more than you take.

We also do small scale liquid fuel production units... Unlike corn ethanol production, our fuel production design strives to use no outside sources of input - just solar, hydro and wood from our farm resources and some good healthy exercise!
