EXPERIMENTAL METHOD FOR TURNING A VACANT FIELD THAT WAS USED FOR HORSE PASTURE (OVER THREE YEARS AGO) INTO A FIELD APPROPRIATE FOR FOOD CULTIVATION. ROTATIONAL GRAZING SETUP. WE ARE MAINTAINING FLOCK HEALTH THROUGH ROTATIONAL GRAZING, WHICH REQUIRES THE ENTIRE FLOCK TO BE FENCED INTO SMALLER PASTURES FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, USUALLY 3 WEEKS (DEPENDING ON PASTURE SIZE) AND THEN MOVED ON TO THE NEXT PASTURE. THIS GIVES THE THE ANIMALWASTE IN THE PASTURES NOT IN USE TIME TO DECAY, AND RESTRICTS THE FLOCK TO FRESHER GRAZING PASTURE.

GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION: THREE LARGE HOOP HOUSE GREENHOUSES WERE COMPLETED IN 2022. TWO WERE USED FOR VEGETABLE PRODUCTION, THE THIRD WAS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL FALL AND WAS USED FOR HOUSING THE HENS OVER THE WINTER (IT CREATES A PLEASANT AND WARM ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM ANDBECAUSE OF THE ABUNDANCE OF LIGHT EVEN IN DEEP WINTER, THEY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE EGGS.

COSTS OF MAINTAINING COMPLETE AND ACCURATE FINANCIAL RECORDS, OFFICE EXPENSE AND INSURANCE.

COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM DEEP WATER WELL REFINEMENTS:AS MENTIONED IN THE ORIGINAL FORM 1023, THERE IS AN OFF-GRID, UNNELECTRIFIED SCHOOLHOUSE ON THE PROPERTY WHICH IS USED AS A HOME. THE SCHOOL HOUSE USES THE COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY SYSTEMS FOR PUMPING WATER, WHICH IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY AREAS OF RESEARCH INTEREST FOR OFF-GRID SYSTEMS.THIS SYSTEM WAS FURTHER REFINED IN 2022 BY: ADDING A SECOND 125 GALLON TANK FOR COMPRESSED AIR,AND ADDING A SECONDARY AIR PUMP DRIVEN BY A SINGLE SOLAR PANEL AND SMALL AGM BATTERY SETUP. WE BELIEVE THAT TO PROPERLY TEST AN OFF GRID SYSTEM IT MUST BE USED NEARLY 100% OF THE TIME IN ALL WEATHER. THE AIR SYSTEM PERFORMED BETTER THAN EXPECTED. HOWEVER, THE THERMOSIPHON AS INSTALLED DID NOT PERFORM WELL, AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT ARE PLANNED FOR 2023. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE SYSTEM IS RELIABLE AND SIMPLE ENOUGH THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN GO FORWARD AND BUILD PRIMARY HOMES WITHOUT ELECTRICITY IN THE WALLS.
