Hello,
I am looking for someone to live at my house in the Sierra Foothills of California to grow oil producing crops for Biodiesel. I have 12+acres which was operated as Hillside Organic Farm supplying produce to local markets and restaurants, but now my wife and I will be living in Europe for at least the next year. We can simply rent out the home, but want to first consider finding someone for Biodiesel farming or Biodiesel research. Rent could be greatly reduced for the right farmer. My wish would be to have someone grow Biodiesel crops, possibly mustards during the winter and soybean, sunflowers or whatever works during the summer. Extracting the oil and producing usable fuel would be yours to explore. You can have all the gas you grow. I would like to determine the ecology of plants that produce well on the varied life zones of the property, and consider working with different regional communities to grow gas. The area, Columbia, is an historic gold mining park, and there are lots fun things to do. Sonora is 5 miles away and has most anything that is needed. Yosemite Park, Emigrant & Carson-Iceberg Wildernesses, Stanislaus & Tuolumne Rivers are in the county so it is a rather scenic area. I have some tools, tillers, drip hosing, [bio]diesel pickup, etc. that could be negotiable to use. The good: Scenic area, rural lifestyle, lots of activities (community, arts, outdoors, etc). Columbia Jr College 1 mile by trail, airport ö 2 miles. Southern exposure: 1 acre of good soils and 10 acres of varying hillsides, oaks, pines and meadows. Rarely snows, and winter growing is generally possible. I have a good ditch water supply, but the water is turbid and the filter needs to be back flushed weekly. Lots of fruit trees, grapes, and berries, are in place. The bad: Hot during the summer (but this helps the growing and the house has air-conditioning), deer are voracious (property is fenced for deer, but regular maintenance is required), Gophers are sometimes a problem depending on the crop. Please pass this on. We are leaving before the end of the year, so please contact us asap if interested: -Mark Zaller email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: +1-209-533-0398 - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Zaller US mobile: 1-408-623-4303 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
