    Hello all.
     
    In response to Karen's and Glenn's suggestions-- please send your brief
    list of research and extension activites related to organic farming to
    me by email. dechaney@ucdavis.edu
     
    As Karen suggests, please use standard journal reference format for
    articles and publications. (List publications from 2004 to current).
     
    For grants-- submit as:
    title
    PI
    cooperators
    source of funding
    TOTAL funding
    years (start and end year)
     
    I will compile this and distribute results at the Nov. 13 meeting.
     
    Dave

    Dear Glenn,
            This is a great idea. Hopefully, people will prepare
    information in similar formats so that they can all be merged in some
    reasonable way. I would suggest that any publications be listed with
    their complete reference. Then we could compile a list of references
    easily. The Organic Winegrowing Manual would be such an example. Also,
    for research projects, the exact name, cooperators, source of funding
    and amount of funding should be listed. That way we can add up the
    outside funding coming to UC for organic research. Similarly,
    presentations should give the date, full title, location, and audience.
    Karen

            Hi Karen:
            
            I agree. Let's wait to see who wants to present, and we will
    adjust accordingly. The other idea that I have is that we all submit a
    really brief (one page or less) list in bullet format of research
    projects and extension activities. Here is an example of mine:
              

            * Completion of Organic Winegrowing Manual with other UC
    authors
            * Presentation on Organic Winegrowing in a Going Organic
    Seminar with CCOF in February in Lake County
            * Research project at the UC Hopland Research and
    Extension Center comparing Organic, Biodynamic and Conventional
    Winegrowing on soil quality, carbon budgets and fruit quality of
    Cabernet sauvignon
            * Serving on steering committee for IFOAM Organic
    Viticulture Conference in Modena, Italy June 2008.

             
            This would be very useful to UC Administration to demonstrate
    what is going on collectively in addressing the ANR Program Priority of
    organic agriculture.
            
            Regards:
            
            Glenn Mc.

            Dear all,
                    I suggest that we allow the meeting to go longer if we
    get enough people who want to report on their research in what is now
    the 1:20 - 2:20 slot.
