Dear SANET viewers/participants:

Does anyone know where to point me for methods of growing cotton
organically? I have been delegated the job of researching this, even
though I have no knowledge of the subject. I have grown small grains and
soybeans organically, so I am not entirely ignorant of agronomy. The
purpose of this search is to aid a development project in India by
providing a means of generating good income while preserving environmental
integrity. What I hope to find is any of the following: books, pamphlets,
farmers who are doing it, researchers who are studying it, etc.
Thanaks for your time. If I weren't so far north, I would just hike
over to my friendly local extension agent and start there!
