Steve, I am John D, but not that John D. Please check your addresses. Also
the email for a 'jurval' below has a different address. It appears that two
John D's are interested in EM.

Keep in mind that on-farm research has been
around for a long time. There are many techniques
and methods. It is a completely valid method of
research.

The sustainable agricultural movement has
taken on-farm research to a new level.

Go to the SARE web page and download their
bulletin... the USDA program.

How to Conduct Research on Your Farm or Ranch
http://www.sare.org/publications/research/index.htm
http://www.sare.org/publications/research/research.pdf

May I request that you either define, in detail,
what you mean by "hoky poky" research... or
just drop the negative implications, such as
"self serving" and "hoky poky."

As you note, taking "before" and "after" pictures
is essential for on-farm research.

Best wishes in your work. I was in Saskatchewan in
November and the Canadian organic farming movement
has a lot to offer. On the other hand, it can also
use a technology boost and adopt additional concepts
and methods.

Best regards,

Steve Diver
