Subject: Friends in Oz: are there REALLY 2,000,000 acres downunder in
BDCultivation?
Allan
First I think if you examine further, the statement used to be "
under BD management"
Then consider this : 2 million acres is a big lot of country to most of us
but get out into the dry inland of Australia and its only a couple of
average size cattle stations (ranches), Australia is roughly the same size
(area and distances) as the United States. FORGET the 2 million acres there
is a strong upsurge in the number of PEOPLE becoming involved through the
non AP groups all around the country. Some of these newcomers are also
prepared to look outside the square and bring their own ideas and
imagination so there is some good things happening with field broadcasters,
homeopathy etc. This is not to denigrate the work done by AP over many
years, after all he had the guts and determination to put BD on national
television at a time when Organic agriculture was the lunatic fringe!
