Yes John, you are right. Has gone quiete quiete of you. Always when I read you name the topic Precision Farming and so on is banging my head. :-) I would call that, besiede guidance, a story of big promisses and little rewards.
My choice I have done and pulled out of this and see much more reward to work with systems which lower the bondage of farmers to suppliers and still increase the profitability. And that is is realy much more fullfilling and more fun.
I have a strong faith in the indipendance of farming, and GMO, PF and so on will not achive that.
How far off is the drought gene technology?
