Maybe you can come down to the farm later in the spring. I am buried right now with greenhouse duties, planting crops, running my "real job" duties, and meetings concerning grant work etc. I would love to hear about your vision and how it might fit, somehow, in ours. You could see the place and the plans we have and I could hear more about your organization.
We are a non profit that works in the area of family farms, bio fuels and energy, and "GREEN" production practices of farm produced energy. In addition, we hope to create a camp on our farm near Greensburg, IN to educate interested people in these areas. Lastly, one of my sons has a Blue Grass band and if our plans work out, perhaps our organization might work with yours and have a concert here. Doug Adamson; Midwest Biofuels and Energy for America
