Australian On Study Tour



Hello.
My name is Peter Kramer. I am an Australian currently visiting British 
Columbia Canada.
In mid October I will be traveling south to Central America via the West 
coast of The U. S.. I am on a private study tour of sustainable 
agriculture in temperate and tropical regions. I intend to travel through 
The Yakima Valley in Washington , The Willamette Valley and southern 
coastal Oregon, then through The Sacramento Valley in California.
My main interest and skill is in creating and improving soil fertility to 
produce crops without the continual addition of soil inputs, organic or 
chemical.
I would like to be able to visit farms, orchards, market gardens and or 
dairies where the production is based partly or wholely on sustainable 
methods.
My experience in temperate climates ( South-eastern Australia)includes, 
hop growing, raspberry, dairy and nursery production. I seek the 
opportunity to share experiences, results and observations with other 
growers in these areas
My experience in sub-tropical and tropical(Coastal Queensland)climates 
includes, banana growing, avocado and mango. I have used biological 
techniques to grow many of the above with a reasonable degree of 
success.I intend to visit Cuba to observe their research and results in 
organic farming, then to Costa Rica  to view banana production
If you are a producer yourself or are a member of an agency or Government 
Department and are aware of any possible contacts could you please e-mail 
me at

Peter Kramer
