Food Solutions New England

Food Solutions New England (FSNE) is a regional food systems learning-action network dedicated to advancing a sustainable New England food system. The FSNE network is organized around four interrelated activities:

A New England Food Vision, a bold vision that calls for our region to build the capacity to produce up to 70% of food that is produced in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner, that promotes health and is accessible by all New Englanders by 2060; New England state food planning initiatives; annual New England food summits and topical workshops; and related analysis, communication and visualization.

The UNH Sustainability Institute serves as the backbone organization for FSNE. Since its inception in 2006, FSNE has advanced its mission by linking a common agenda, shared measurement, continuous communication, and synergestic activities.

Some tool wikis are not showing up

I was looking for the "rover-remote-electric-fence-switch-text-message" tool post in the main list, and it was not there (did a text search to make sure I wasn't mistaken. Then I did a google search and found it where it should be http://farmhack.net/tools/rover-remote-electric-fence-switch-text-message - but still not in the menu.

Here are some images of approaches we use on our farm - everything from the screw in "pencil" dryer fans to drying outside or hoop structure on tarp up to 10 tons. If you have the weather and the quantity isn't that large - it is a very fast and economic way to get grain dry, and is not much labor. We have also used a small bin with a screen bottom and fan (Image is of Cayuga pure organic's dryer). I agree that it would be good to post sources for the bottom screen and fans. I have also heard of using drainage tile inside grain wagons or bins (prior to dumping grain in) used with the pencil type dryers or other fans. I have not had to try that yet, but expect I will at some point.
