I'm writing to suggest that you consider buying one or more
Sustainable Agriculture Directory(s) of Expertise. This book is a
low-cost, practical resource that will help many people find
reliable information about reducing purchased inputs and farming
more profitably.
The Directory lists 717 people and groups nationwide. It includes
experts in more than 40 types of crop and 17 livestock enterprises,
covering topics from ag economics to weed science. Each entry
provides the essential information about the contact. The
Directory is a natural tool for agriculturalists because it
connects them with people who are finding out what works -- and
what doesn't.
The Directory was published by the Sustainable Agriculture Network
(SAN), a national initiative of the Sustainable Agriculture
Research and Education (SARE) program.
At this time SAN is offering special incentives to institutions
that order the books in quantities. As you can see from the
included discount schedule, discounts start at just 10 copies. If
you buy more than 50 copies, you will get them for half the price!
Additionally, for every copy of The Directory purchased between
now, and June 30, 1994, you can receive a free, electronic version
of the second edition that includes 400 new entries. The
electronic book comes on a 3 1/4-inch high density diskette,
and will be available after September 1, 1994. It uses an
innovative software program, called FolioViews, that makes
searching for and finding information as simple as a few key
strokes on a computer. FolioViews allows you search for the
reports you want; you can then cut and paste portions into
document, or print. To order the electronic books, simply
fill out the coupon we'll send with your hard copies.
Please feel to contact me if you have any questions.
Best regards,
----
