Somtimes we get so caught up in our seek of information and knowledge that we take it for granted that others are in possession of the same information that we have. Qestion is this: Should we take for granted that all of the farmers are aware of the government sposored programs that provide funding or do we take for granted that everyone already knows this program?

Win-win can best be measured through compromise of less ill-effect on the environment than one of a present cronic state.

I am not preaching education, what I am trying to say is; pass on the information that helps those who have financial impact concerns. You mat get different results, at least it is worth a try...

SilverMallard: that information that you obtained is great and it is even better that you did the research to discover it. If that information was passed onto the farmers and lets say that half of them used it; your coalition would be that much larger. Most farmers hate paper work and I know that an offering of services to help them apply for thes programs gets more of them on board.

The information that you researched can be a great tool in acomplishing part of your goals. Best of luck with your project!
