It’s an early winter morning in rural Indiana, and Russell Bishop is getting ready to drive his school bus route. His daughter Mary Lou is with him, and his double-deep orange school bus is parked outside the family farm’s barn. The introduction of school buses in rural areas allowed the replacement of one-room schoolhouses with larger, consolidated schools where children could get a more standardized education. Whether or not that was a good thing was controversial, but within 25 years -- from 1920 to 1945 -- almost 4,000 one-room schools closed their doors forever.
flyaway > We entered and turned down this dirt road to our destination, the manure storage pond, where the manure begins the processing which removes the methane gas to fuel generators. Each cow provides enough manure to make 2.2 kilowatt-hours a day -- enough to keep a 100-watt lightbulb lit for 22 hours. Mason Dixon Farm's system generates enough electricity to receive a monthly check from the local utility company rather than a bill!
flyaway > There were a number of shorebirds there, feeding on the tiny creatures living in the rich sludge along the edges. In this photo there is a Semipalmated Plover and several small sandpipers. A Greater Yellowlegs is out of view at the far edge of the pond.
