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

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.
