Dear Allan, We have certainly made ourselves available regionally, and offer advice and suggestions for numerous growers each year, plus orgainzing educational events. Jeff Poppen is always also taking in visitors, and holding educational events, writing and doing the TV shows. Allan, you do a huge amount of educational work yourself. JPI has its new farmer advisory program. I think we are wishing for an outdated paradigm when we expect to have some top down organizational figure heads baby us through our movement. This is the era of the conciousness soul, the age of individuality. What ever is lacking in the movement is no one fault but our own. Christy
