    How much money would all the state governments save too!  They no longer would have to tend the roadsides.  The farmers and florists would do it for them.

    hi, i know they dont give the grass that’s mown at the sides of the roads to cattle, since it is too much poluted. How will you make sure this will not also happen to your produce? Will you be using greenhouses?

    Thats a valid point. Yes greenhouses would be a good alternative and it would keep people from picking free food too.

    Thanks for the insight.
