Dear Richard, thanks for posting this and yes interesting about ANR
blogs. I was recently at a Cal Ag associate editors meeting where ANR
and UC blogs were discussed.
Also congratulations to you and Fred Swanson on moving ahead with
this KAC organic acreage project.
As to this organic farming research list serve, yes lets revive it
and also it is in the collaborative tools set up too, so we can post
things there as well, you should see it in your ANR portal, but no
one has used it.
Several of us in Yolo County just met yesterday with tomato
processors who are seeing a major upswing in interest and price (not
unrelated) in organic processing tomatoes, they also say organic
alfalfa in the Sacramento Valley is booming.
Cheers, Jenny
