There is a body of literature covering this topic. Most of it is being by
the sustainable agriculture community to assist farmers in sharing their
experiences with ecologically sound agriculture.
I did a search in AGRICOLA and found a large number of reports, articles
and special publications. Since you are at the University of Wisconsin, go
to the Steenbock Library and search the database with terms like:
farmer and network
farmer to farmer
Ask the librarians at Steenbock to assist if you need help.
