I like the community supported agriculture business model, though I think your prices are to high to get much participation. I think you may want to restructure and just optimize your farm, and then sell the wheat directly.

Maybe even open up a bartering system where people can trade bonemeal or any other resources you could use for wheat, bread, cake or cookies at some favorable and reasonable exchange rate.

I'd love to be the president of a communist nation.

A true communist nation has no president.

Leader should I say then?

No leader, everyone is equal. The USSR was NOT a true communist government.

I like this discussion about communism, might I suggest this video about communism from khanacademy.

Also, my dream job would to be someone Who speaks for Earth, and continuing to chop wood and carry water. Most probably in the form of Renewable Energy Engineering.

For those interested, the following is a list of some sustainability related videos:

• Ray Anderson on the business logic of sustainability
• Wangari Maathai & The Green Belt Movement
• William McDonough on Cradle to Cradle Design
• Annie Leonard on Planned and Perceived Obsolescence
• Janine Benyus: Biomimicry in Action
• Majora Carter's Tale of Urban Renewal
• Enric Sala: Glimpses of a pristine ocean
• Amory Lovins a 50 year plan for energy
• Hans Rosling: Let my dataset change your mindset

Let me know what you think. 

Lies and slander!

I think there are some people in our community that could learn to communicate and disagree in a more civil and respectful way. There are also a couple of choice individuals that attempt to project an air of knowing everything and speaking for the server as a whole. I'm not at all interested in calling people out, mostly because I have no interest in participating in drama as some people are willfully immune to reason and/or any sort of critical feedback. Worse there are those that are being jerks on purpose because they think it's funny, it makes them feel clever and superior to other people (see:troll).

However, not saying anything and seeing people leave over... misunderstandings and unchecked lameness ...irritates me. For my part, I would like to be part of a diverse and creative community. I find it relaxing and fun to see people be creative, all the drama and nonsense, I could do without.

That said, just because someone doesn't agree with your point of view, doesn't mean they are close minded or that they represent the server as a whole. Also, I think people that show their feelings are much more admirable than those of us that are more callous and cynical. However, being thin-skinned will not serve anyone well in life. So, I don't recommend trying to misconstrue my condemnation of trolls as advocating for being a ninny.

It also might be useful to consider the concept of the vocal minority vs the silent majority. Anyway, I've probably written far more than most will bother reading or will turn out to be useful.

People, be decent to each other.  

Since there are a lot of people building cathedrals and such I thought these NOVA programs on Building the Great Cathedrals and Secrets of the Parthenon might be interesting to some people. There is also this decent Physics of Stone Arches interactive associated with the show on cathedrals.

Well done
