Plenty of NEED out there Steve. How can we get to those who need the help with an understanding of TEA, market the machinery and teach how to use it and the TEA, all under financially balanced business? I can produce the brewers but can't reach people who need them and who know they need them and then know how to use TEA. It all depends on education. We can't just preach to the choir on this List. Gotta find a way to reach & teach a bigger audience. Bob

Geography + climate + humidity + disease

Humid East & Arid West

Not about hip farmers vs nozzle-head farmers
who just need to wake up and smell the roses
and pluck organic fruit off the vine in the
Land of Milk and Honey.

Serious, kick-ass diseases that will stomp
you down and wipe you out by the end of the day.

Kids, meantime, are walking to school without
shoes. Wife, meanwhile, is looking at the UPS
delivery guy thinking he makes at least
$8 an hour.

Well, I've got half a deck of cards on the table
voting for CT's combined with integrated
organic farming practices, but the other half
is in reserve until I see further on-the-ground
results.... before I can tell a farmer.. with
great confidence... that "this" will surely help
you achieve organic fruit by controlling these
rampant diseases in the Humid East.
