I hope that the people that heard (and the people that will hear the program) take his suggestions seriously and look into energy equation.

I have a question about chicken manure being spread on food crops. Isn't it true that chicken manure in loaded with heavy metals and other ingredients (arsenic, hormones etc.) that are hazardous to health? And, is it safe to use chicken manure on personal vegetable gardens, and if it is safe, how much is safe to use? What is the NPK levels in chicken manure? I think that nitrogen is around 33%. What is Potassium and Phosphorus levels? Enjoying the presentation about Adkins family farming on Delmarva very much. I have a question about chicken manure being spread on food crops.

This eliminates 20% of the classes traditionally required to obtain a degree, but keeps the cost the same. I believe this change degrades the educational value of a degree.

One affordable option for buying organic food is to join a CSA, where you pay upfront for a seasons worth of fresh veggies. After I quit my job to stay home with my kids I invested my tax return into joining a CSA. I call this an investment because I can support my local certified naturally grown farm, Calliope Farms, but also an investment in my family's health. We need to quit our addition to "convenience foods" which is making us diabetic! What we consume matters, let us error on the side of causation! And in regards to medical costs, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Please encourage people to find local food at http://www.localharvest.com.
