finally

 I have chased money to put a plan into action where birds could be raised and released in town for a long time. Maybe you remember my original plan about the Dry Basin Project or maybe your just one of my friends who hear me preaching about how important it is to re supply birds to the area. I originally wanted to try raising and releasing  the prairie chicken but there range and price (nearly impossible to find at 500 plus per pair but surprisingly available in a couple online hatcheries), made it unrealistic at the time but a thought for the future. Well the future bit me in the butt.. I could have been eligible for some money to help from some F.S.A. and U.S.D.A. if I would have known what they had to offer.So I was wondering if ?
      Is  anybody interested at all in helping with finding and applying for assistance ? I have been recently issued a farm tract# on half of the properties and we are at about 4.1 acres. I have one active bee hive and several bat houses on inner city flood plains planted in fruit ,nut ,timber,and experimental trees as well as corn. I am getting some pet bob white quail this year as well as some of my favorite ducks.I hope to build a small aviary at the house I personally purchased in the middle of the area. This house will feature an attached greenhouse/aquaponic system and will be mostly recycled and made from recycled materials. I hope to have a functioning off grid kitchen and heat source as well as a few other green goals as well as a saw mill .The problem is that I need help,I have a little money so I am reaching out to those who could help me stretch it.
  I am slammed with things to do but I feel I am missing out on opportunities because I am so busy working and building on the house.

  I am not going to be letting birds go but I  would like to be ready to when and if I can by having some of my favorites on hand.I think birds are great pets and companions and hopefully I can dig a pond on the new property and raise some fathead minnows and a pair if african grey geese.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fathead_minnow
 Yes the grey geese would be for me,I love this breed and was devastated to loose my girls.
