Yes, but I can not remember the name of it, starts with an 'M'. Just a short piece I heard on the radio one day. But what I recall was that this country's government used several million dollars to invest in agriculture. They provided the resources to help farmers that where getting like one fifth to one tenth the production per acre that modern industrial countries do; fertilizer, modern equipment, etc. The result I remember was that in a three or four years they have turned themselves around from being a country that needed to import over half of their food to being an exporter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:261673 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
