BioCycle is moving towards a larger focus on farms, in part because so 
much of the organic waste stream is now being managed by farmers.  In 
fact, they have developed a special publication, called "Farm Scale 
Composting" that will be a very up to date resource for on farm 
composting.  They also publish a scientific journal of organic waste 
management, called Compost Science and Utilization.  JG Press is at 419 
State Ave., Emmaus, PA 18049.  (Same city as New Farmer).

Here in California, we have "Farmer to Farmer, published by the Community 
Alliance with Family Farmers, which focuses on cutting chemical bills and 
"going biological".  Subscription info at PO Box 73674, Davis, CA 95617.>
