Hello all,
I have an interesting question, but first let me give you an explanation of
what I have planned.

I am very interested in consructing a geodesic dome in Kansas with the
purpose of growing produce year-round. Also, since I'll be using water as a
heat/cold-conservation source I would like to utilize the large tanks for
fish production. The waste from the fish will then be used as a natural
organic fertilizer. It is a self-contained environment. I will introduce
only organisms that will be benificial to the ecology of the dome. The
attempt is to establish an environment where pesticides, herbicides and
harmful fertilizers are not needed.

My question(s): How can I find more information regarding this subject? Who
contracts jobs like this? Are there any funding sources possibly available
(government loans/grants) for such an alternative ag project?

Thanks,
Kellen Weissenbach
