Interesting story! Checking out your site now. A question for you - How do
you think your technology would have fared in a market without any gov't
subsidies? Why wouldn't the short-sight human nature to buy cheapest now,
instead of cheapest long-term been even more strongly expressed?

You're right about city-based wheat farming being untenable - But don't
think grains - think produce. That's where people spend most of their food
$$$. Small-scale veg farming is quite attainable -m(b)illions do it all the
time.
