My name is Byron, welcome to earthhuddle. I'm real excited to hear about your plans for your self sufficient farm, it sounds great. Please feel free to ask any questions on the topic as I've done a little study and had my own acreage before being forced back to the city of Sydney for a little while :( One day soon I'll get back to build my dream farm :) have a read of my blog 'Self Suffient Manager' if you haven't already.
Look forward to hearing about your exciting plans.
