I'm crossing my fingers for success!  Hopefully there will be an update saying it was wildly successful.

Anyone here I think would be interested.   Those that would benefit however are primarily in agriculture.  It's "green" healthy and saves a ton of money.

Neat.  Good luck!
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

That's a real interesting Kickstarter.   I wish you good fortune.   I really liked the animals chowing down on the output.

It did bring up a lot of questions that I'd think a business person (i.e. farmer or stable owner)  would want answered.   
It creates  100+ lbs of great output per day
-  what do you put into it,   seed,  base material?
-  how much?  what does that cost?
-  how long does it take per day to keep the output going?
-  what is the nominal cost to run in water and electricity?

Good questions. I'd tweak the last one to include how much water and electricity it uses not in cost, but in units so that they can calculate the cost based on their own utility costs.

Thanks, I posted an "update" with more info.  Those that are following will get a notification that way.  It's tough to see nothing happening yet!  I am actually getting a lot of inquiries and questions, they just don't show on kickstarter at this point.  Percentage of funding will look good however once I get just one.

I timed it to end on Friday, the day after the World Ag Expo.  We will have a massive booth there with an impressive display.  That give us 3 days and 100,000 people to sell to before it ends!

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
