I would consider using concrete with embedded fiberglass fivers
rather
than rebar. In our area (Southwest Ohio) hardly any rebar
reinforcements are used. If you order concrete, rather than mix
it
yourself, you can get eh fiberglass already mixed in. Consider
it.

Jungle Jim,

I think you need a little more research about fiber mesh. It can
be argued that it is a substitute for re-mesh, but never for
rebar. It is used in slab-on-grade work, not footings.
