Which brings me to my question. Are there any specialists at any western
land grants that would be interested in helping put together a SARE grant
proposal on bamboo production? Tentatively both farm production and
marketing objectives would be included. My background is in ag economics
and I could help put the structure of the proposal together, but would need
some PI(s) from agronomy/horticulture area. We could grow varieties at
different sites, and conduct strength tests on them. I would think a multi
state effort would have more possibiltiy of being funded. I can send more
information soon. The bamboo producer, Kyle, is sending me additional
information, but I thought I would put out some feelers first.
