  • Power Sources, Equipment for Life on a Few Acres by Wesley Gunkel and David Ross
    Power Sources, Equipment for Life on a Few Acres By Wesley Gunkel and David Ross Modern farming and our style of living require the use of energy in much greater quantities than in the past. While re- turning to nature on a few acres may reduce dependence on energy and modern equipment for some, it is hard to escape their use. Power is needed to perform the many tasks found in maintaining and using a few acres. The few acre site may open new energy sources to the owner. Natural energy from wind, water, the sun, wood or coal may be locally utilized. Electricity, natural gas, fuel oil and coal may be supplied by commercial companies. Equipment such as tractors and tractor-operated imple- ments, household appliances, and power tools use many sources. Family living requires surprisingly large quantities of energy. More than 20 percent of all the energy in the United States is consumed in the home. Over half of this energy is used for heating. Both your life style and the nature of any operations on your few acres will determine energy requirements. The loca- tion of your place will determine the most likely energy sources. Most few acre operations will be near electricity or a petroleum fuel source. However, the electrical service may be inadequate for large electrical motors, particularly 3-phase motors. Accessibility for fuel deliveries may be poor during some months, and larger storage facilities may be needed. Electricity obtained from a central station is fairly depend- able and reasonably priced as a rule. Electrical generators on your few acres are ideal for standby operation.

  • Wildlife: Regional Forester Sensitive Species (Rfss)-Plants
    WILDLIFE: REGIONAL FORESTER SENSITIVE SPECIES (RFSS)-PLANTS (1) Overview Several sensitive plant projects involving monitoring were planned in 2005. These projects were all either habitat improvement projects or monitoring of a mitigation that was required for another project. However, due either to lack of a sufficient burn window or to litigation, only one of these projects was implemented: Kawishiwi Admin Site Botrychium Transplant. Lack of a burn window prevented treatments from being implemented for a Virginia EIS moonwort project and a Trygstad Sale barren strawberry project, and litigation of the Tomahawk EA prevented implementation of a Botrychium habitat improvement project. Baseline monitoring has been conducted at all of these project sites, and follow – up monitoring would be conducted after treatments occur. For the Kawishiwi Admin Site Botrychium Transplant, a large population of the rare matricary grapefern (Botrychium matricariifolium) was growing where the parking lot was planned for the new Admin Site. To mitigate impacts from the project, we attempted to transplant individuals to 2 nearby sites using a tree spade as well as by hand using a shovel. Transplanting occurred in Fall 2004, and monitoring occurred in Summer 2005. Survival of individuals was measured in plots. 65% of transplanted individuals survived across all plots. Monitoring will be repeated in 2006. 1) Matricary grapefern population that will 2) Tree spade in process of transplanting 3) Completed transplant plug be impacted by parking lot construction WL.
