What about LISA farming?  I'm not a farmer myself, but live in a
farming community.  I read a liitle while ago about a young farmer
using this LISA method (Low Input Sustainable Agric.).  He was losing
too much money with the typical farming methods in use in this area.

If anyone is interested in LISA, I recommend a membership in the Practical
Farmers of Iowa (PFI) group. PFI supports on-farm research by farmers as well
as projects in cooperation with Iowa State University and other organizations.
These people are not just talk - they're showing how farmers can cut chemical
use and minimize input costs and still get good yields.

Membership is $10 per year ($25 for 3 years)
