    Nope I have not! Closest thing I've heard of is "managed grazing"... It think the biggest advantages are: -requires less attention (in the long run), but more understand (which eventually leads to care) of the whole system, bring our attention to quality over quantity -brings the farming practices back to viewing and working with the...

    I try to walk as much as I can and lucky my work schedule and life are flexible enough to allow me to do so. The ebike is super easy to ride and with that extra e-help, I would be able to go to meetings (where I try to avoid the sweaty look) via bike, without looking like I just biked!
