Nice idea though, and I too would love to do it. Could put those up out in the fields and plow around them.
As a side note, I remember reading where somewhere in southern or mid Indiana banned them. The municipality, county, or...? I nearly blew my stack when read that. Some politicians saying, "You must do the right thing for the environment, but we just won't let you, so we'll have to tax you more".
