VIDEO:  Harvesting the Power of the Sun
 
 
Sun Farming... Plants, animals and finally humans have been harvesting the power of the sun since before the beginning of time. It is only in this day and age that responsible and sustainable agriculture is regarded as "green" or "revolutionary". For generations David Evan's family has been gathering energy from the great power plant in the sky. They maximize the amount they can harvest and leave enough left over for all of the other creatures in their unique ecosystem to survive.

excellent video. Michael Pollan's book 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' has a detailed description of sun farming practices at Polyface Farms near Charlottesville, Virginia. compare that with a consolidated animal feeding operation (CAFO) out in the midwest, and you'll never want to eat a corn-fed steak again (if you are a meat-eater, that is.)

im from farm/ranch country myself...just wish all these farmers and cowboys could think like you do. your doing great things!
There's no such thing as clean coal!

America needs alternatives to coal and fossil fuels. There is so much potential in so many other sources, like solar. Good job Carl Brown.
