This sounds great, but still you are not saving time for chanting, nor is there simple living. To produce for excess, using oxen,. means a lot of work. This could include many varieties of foodstuffs and of course organically grown. This could be done by ISKCOWP as the regulator so to speak. The deovtees who would join the coop would agree to buy the foodstuffs or products from membrs at a fair price... Fair here means very high compared with normal cost. Very high cost means devotees have to spend more time working harder to get the money to purchase that desirable product. And very hard work for devotees to produce that excess for selling. All when we are supposed to save time...and simplify... .... in or order to support the oxen and cow protection. It could be done as a sideline, if there is excess, maybe to visitors, who are thrilled to take back a sample of ox-produce. Don't target devotees, as the hard work to get that money for purchasing at high cost can be a distraction from chanting, etc. ....It would require some oranization but once one is shown to be sincere in developing an oxen program, then he should be allowed to introduce items that are produced such as crafts on the farm and it would have the ISKCOWP stamp if certain amounts went directly to the cow and ox program. I think it would be great to target the Indian community, for instance ys, niscala. ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
