Thanks to everyone that sent me info concerning hog composting. I am 
familiar with Joel Salatin's system and the Nordell system. If anyone 
knows of any other farmers using hog composting systems, I would
like to hear about them.

I am interested in hearing about mechanical and cultural cover crop 
suppression techniques. Grazing, mowing, flaming, scalding with hot 
water, undercutting, strip tilling... are some exaamples.

Joel Gruver:

In response to your question about integrating animals into agricultural
systems, specifically hogs, the Western region USDA Sustainable Agriculture
Research and Education program, SARE, supported a research project by Kent
Fleming of the University of Hawaii at Manoa on hog farming integrated with
market gardening and orchard production.  The climate was obviously
tropical. Contact Dr. Fleming for specific information about his research. 
His phone number is (808) 322-9136.

If you have any additional questions, or would like more information about
Western SARE-funded research and education projects, please feel free to
contact me.

Sincerely,

Kristen Kelleher
