Christina,

> "Just to be clear, John, when you said this "The paper uses only Italian
maize and Canadian forestry as examples -" you were talking about the
reference you gave us a link to....by Furlan and Kreutzweiser?" 

- yes, sorry I was unclear.

in agricultural practice...changes that won't compromise the crop yield,
that will actually reduce the cost of growing the crops, and will also help
the beneficials like our honeybees by resulting in less chemical use
overall.  I hope."

I applaud the vision ..... but how to achieve it? Could do with some farmers
to comment on this.
