Escalating Hay Prices -The Solution

Posted in General Posts by Gerald on the March 27th, 2008

As the price of diesel fuel rises, beyond anything we had contemplated, and the demand for fuel crops, for ethanol and biodiesel production continues to take priority and the demand for food crops such as corn and wheat increases in emerging countries such as China and India the pressure to replace hay and feed grain crops with more profitable crops continues; the price of a bushel of wheat is at a all time high. And the price of horse ownership skyrockets and the value of our horse plummets.

One solution may be found in the field of hydroponics.  Recent advances in lighting techniques, insulation, and dry Fogging, has led to the feasibility of “ER’s” Environmental Rooms. In which it is possible to produce “Spring Grass” at a cost of $30.00 a ton.

A small room can grow grass equivalent to a fifty-acre meadow. PLUS the grass produced has twice to nutritional content of the best alfalfa. And it produces 365 days a year.

So when this hay wagon leaving; My guess spring - 2009.
