And, I would add, has already been done on many low-input technologies. The
North Central region SARE call for proposals last year contained a specific
request for projects that locate data from old research that can be
utilized in this neo-organic era. If anyone knows of any such projects that
were funded, why don't you post a message and tell us what you're digging
up? I also recommend that folks look carefully at the old ag station and
land grant bulletins and reports from way back when to glean ideas for
approaches we can use now--or discard as not worthwhile.
