What about chook tractors in the veg patch Baggywrinkle. Put the critters to work. They are really good at digging up weeds and fertilizing. Also have people considered other grains than wheat, such us quinoa and amaranth from South America. They may grow in places unsuitable for wheat. Here in New Zealand a great source of sheep manure is under the grating of woolsheds where the sheep are shorn. Do you have those in the States?
