This deck features some really fun tech, synergy, and big fat creatures, what else could you want?
I'm looking for relatively inexpensive improvements to this deck, awesome cards like Rofellos aren't very helpful. Also i'm looking for synergistic tech, NOT... "sol ring, sword of Color and Color, Gauntlet of Extraplanar Lens" etc. I'm plenty aware of what monocolor and EDH staples are. thanks!

Emmara is like the worst parts of Legends and Homelands got pregnant, aborted the fetus, tossed it in the trashcan, set it on fire and wrapped the corpse in a Dragon's Maze pack wrapper.
There are lots of good mana dumps you can use since you have tons upon tons of ramp. Kamahl, Fist of Krosa, for instance.
I run Sprout Swarm in my Rhys deck, and it seems like it would be a good thing for you to use to dump your mana into end of turn and follow up with an overrun effect.
Speaking of Overrun effects, the new Genesis Wave might work well with Baru.
Thanks guys! Terramorphic Expanse is actually in the deck i just forgot to list it, -1 forest.
@fadetoblack, Reach of Branches is actually in here! it's really i good. Rofellos, as i mentioned in the deck text is yes very good, but out of my budget. Exploration is also good but same criteria. Waiting in the Weeds is interesting...i do like that.
@ Shishizaru, i actually like Growth Spasm a lot, it gets me the land, a chump blocker, or an extra colorless mana. It's come through pretty nicely early game. it's going to be hard to part with it.

- Terra Stomper (Timmy says yes, i say No)
- Khalni Hydra (timmy says yes, i say no
- Glissa Sunseeker
- Omnath, Locus of Mana (this & Glissa were alternate plan B/C for the deck and just caused the deck to be less consistent)
- Forest
- Snake Umbra (just not enough umph)
+ Eternal Witness (duh)
+ Strata Scythe (re-usable blanchwood armor is very good)
+ Allusaurus Rider (this guy is great in a bind, love him every time he comes out)
+ Gaea's Touch (this is just amazing....)
+ Thawing Glaciers (just to obvious to pass up)
+ Sylvan Library (since i don't have a spare top this works, and it will be search able with Worldly Tutor once i get my hands on another one)

I would probably cut Growth Spasm in order to make room for Explosive Vegetation. Hunting Wilds is another great addition for Baru.
Also, if you have the money, there's always Exploration. Lotus Cobra, if you can.
Turntimber Basilisk is pseudo-removal in your deck, and, with trample, only has to tag one damage per creature and deals the rest to the face.
Beacon of Creation is a nice way to add another Howl of the Night Pack to your deck. Waiting in the Weeds is another one, and is good as long as you're not playing against another mono-green deck.
Patron of the Orochi, maybe? He would be better if you had some mana dump, like Ant Queen or Strength of the Tajuru. It works well with Omnath, certainly.
Reach of Branches is a recurrable creature, essentially.
Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary, maybe?
There are lots of good mana dumps you can use since you have tons upon tons of ramp. Kamahl, Fist of Krosa, for instance.

Just some suggestions to think about.

Turntimber Basilisk is an interesting choice, i'll have to find one.
@ Shishizaru, i actually like Growth Spasm a lot, it gets me the land, a chump blocker, or an extra colorless mana. It's come through pretty nicely early game. it's going to be hard to part with it.
I like Hunting Wilds though good idea.
I'm going to look into more mana dump ideas...i'll update this when i make changes. Keep the suggestions coming!
