Dear Nicola,
Yes, I would be interested. Farm about 15 acres and pasture about
eight acres. Am converting to organic.
Am located in Red Oak (Ellis County), Texas. Received less than 19"
rain last year and less than 17" rain this year.
Is this the sort of situation you have in mind?

Subject: [SANET-MG] Testing a product that reduces irrigation requirements
Hello,
I'm in the process of organizing tests of an organic product,
developed in Norway, designed to reduce the irrigation required to
grow crops by about 50%. The tests I'm organizing are going to be
conducted in Australia next growing season (planting will be
August-September 2007).
I don't work for the company that has developed it, I'm just
curious about bringing the technology into Australia (assuming it
works as well there as it has in their African tests) due to the
constant water shortages there.
A company representative is going to be the US in late
October/early November, and I know they are looking to conduct tests
here, and I was wondering if there was anyone on the list from some
of the drier states (CA, TX, ???) who would be interested in (and
set up to conduct) testing. The product has to be applied in liquid
form, so someone who is used to applying liquid based fertilizers
would probably be preferable.
If so, please let me know.
Regards,
Nicola
