Hi Everyone,

Anyone in Vermont, NH working on this??

Long time since I worked on the Farm, but I am very involved with Arduino...

I write the http://ArduinoInfo.Info WIKI and I'd like to include a project page on this if any of you want to collaborate on that.

I also run http://yourduino.com and would extend the 5% "Educational" discount to anyone in FarmHack...

I came away from "Chasing Ice" and a Bill McKibben talk muttering, "We've got to stop burning fossil fuels" - and knowing how helpless we are to stop.

Yep, draft animals is a good direction - but we're all driving cars and trucks; tractors, and most of us heating with fossil fuels, and on and on.

I knew that ethanol is a terrible idea - what is more stupid than burning food in cars!! Besides, it takes away from small farmers in Latin America; and it takes more energy to grow and produce it, than you get out of it when it's burned; and it's bad for engines.

NOT!

Here is a link to a video of a similar project titled "Wireless Sensor Networks for Small Vegetable Farms"

Hi all, I'm spreading the word about a new farmer-to-farmer networking and information-sharing platform called FarmsReach (farmsreach.com). It's great for growers of all experience levels, and was essentially designed by CA farmers and several nonprofits that serve the farming community.

There are a lot of features I think you'd find useful:

I like your documentation so far :). It's cool to see other Fido-like projects popping up.

There's a new addition on the login page. A google and facebook button.

If a previously unregistered user clicks these buttons it will create a new FarmHack.net account tied to their Facebook or Google account. For those of use that have existing FarmHack.net accounts, I wrote a how-to on linking your Google or Facebook account to your existing FarmHack.net profile.

Hi all! Severine asked me to throw this conversation up here -Will

Hi guys !

I hope everything's fine for you on the other side of the atlantic. I'm Etienne, currently working for ADABio autoconstruction which is, as you probably know, the french cousin of Farm Hack. Julien gave me your e-mail addresses, I'm not sure you'll be all concerned about this topic so sorry about that.

Here are a couple links through our friends at low and no-tech magazine http://www.notechmagazine.com/farming/

The Agricultural Building and Equipment Plan List

"The University of Tennessee Extension maintains a collection of over 300 building and equipment plans, and all are now available in electronic format for download. The plans are primarily intended for use in Tennessee, but many are appropriate for other locations as well. http://bioengr.ag.utk.edu/extension/extpubs/planlist97.htm

Here are a couple photos and a detailed set of blueprints for duplicating a crimper roller built here in Quebec by my neighbours. The research project that brought it to life and paid the draftsperson were all run on public funds so I suggest that it's open to duplication. I can probably find out the exact status of the license on the blueprints if someone wants to know.
