The neat thing about the internet is you can reach people all around the globe very cheaply.

The bad thing, is you can easily be found out and called to an honest asessment just as easily.

We all have wants and needs, and local places that need a lot of help. Local people.

It's gonna be real hard for someone to send you a tractor, when your need is to hand a few hoes out to a few of those in need and help them grow the food, 'hands on'.

In a different way, sorta like the 'organic' garden in town that is passing out good, healthy organic food to those in town, and training people how to grow organic food.

They took over a mound of dirt left by the river - it was a levee used to sandbag the river, dirt was contaminated so couldn't be used for anything else, so left there in a 2 acre mound.

First year they couldn't grow anything, as it was really subsoil, not top soil.

So they got 11 dumptruck loads of ritch compost & topsoil donated for free, including the hauling, and made their second garden. Which failed, because the water didn't perk right through their odd & toxic soil.
So they found a sub-surface irrigation place that donated $50,000 of material and time to put in a drainage/irrigation setup on their 2-3 acres.

And now, they grow good crops by punping river water onto their 3 acres of hauled in free compose on top of a toxic mound, and proclain to the rest of us how healthy and easy it is to grow organic produce.

And so, some of us who actually have to use our own money to make a living get kinda funky when something like this comes up.

Good luck with your club, you might want to look a little more local for big donations.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
