Idea

I'd like to create a group for pitching ideas, connecting farmers to funding, etc. based upon the ideas in the link below.

I have been consulting on pitching ideas and helping put together Business Plans for a while now- I'd like to use my talents to help the rural sustainable ag. world move forward quickly by sharing my skill set for free. Let me know if you'd like to learn how to pitch, put your ideas into action or would are ready to be plugged into investor networks. 

As I want to create a good, cheap, durable, easy to build, self-driven open source prone weeder, I did some research of already existing ones. You are invited to contribute your own constructions and ideas.

Hi, Just found this wonderful site. I'm in need of an apiary crane to lift heavy supers. I am envisioning a crane that could wheel under a hive stand and have an adjustables crane pole and pulley system where I could have pre-set eye hooks drilled into my hive supers (four, one near each corner) that I could hook onto a pulley that would lift the super by motor. I'd like to build something that would drop one side (not each corner but whole sides) at a time, so when the supers go back on I can brush bees out of the way as it slowly lowers back into place.

Enclosed aerated composting vessels are efficient in processing organic wastes, but expensive and site specific. Given the glut of shipping containers (thanks to trade deficits) why not re-purpose these and convert them into mobile enclosed aerated vessels. And why stop at just replicating the typical vessels, when a few further simple mod's could capture all the products of aerated composting - namely heat and CO2 production.

Greetings!

This is my first post...so be gentle ;-) Not sure I'm posting the right way or in the right place.

Hi All,

Hi,

I want to start a discussion about using peer-to-peer lending to support smallholder farmers all over the world.  Why?
