Americans turn to foraging, trash-diving

Miranda Walton's old Ford pickup was collecting dust on her ranch in Austin, Texas, so she decided to trade it in for something she needed - goats.

Walton, 38, will get milk for her three sons, a tax break for using her land for raising livestock and someone will get a sturdy truck.

There's no cash involved, making Walton one of a growing number of Americans who are looking outside the traditional economy to confront the recession.
