Just heading out for the Upper Midwest Organic Farming Conference.
Betty Gras made some excellent points in her note about the political
situation with Iraq.
At the same time, I reeeaaaalllly hope that I don't come back from
UMOFC to a bunch of traffic on this. This is a sustainable
agriculture list server, and this feels like it's getting waaaaay
off topic and could start, um, a firestorm. Action on the draft
organic standards I can see as related to sustainable ag in a fairly
direct way; Betty, I think there are other list servers to deal with
the Iraq issue. If there were some very explicit sustag tie-in, I'd
feel less reluctant about it. But.
If you all disagree with my opinion, I won't mind a bit. Just wanted
to weigh in my two cents. Be well, all, and envy us attending the
UMOFC--best food of any conference I've ever attended, amazing
locale. The company's not half bad, either.
I'll post a URL for audiotapes of the conference sessions next week.
Conference theme this year is dealing with change...and success.
peace
