MR. BALLIETT,
YOU SHOULD GIVE CONSIDERATION TO TAPING THE EVENTS AND PLACING THEM IN A
FORMAT AVAILABLE TO INDIVIDUALS IN OTHER AREAS. ACRES USA MIGHT BE A MEANS
OF DISTRIBUTION AND THEY MIGHT WORK WITH YOU TO UNDERWRITE THE INITIAL EXPENSE
OF SUCH AN EFFORT.
I'M IN A SMALL TOWN WITH A STATE UNIVERSITY AND AN AG. DEPT THAT RECEIVES
VERY LITTLE ACTUAL EXPOSURE TO SUCH THINGS, AND THE EXPERIENCES OF ACTUAL
BIODYNAMIC FARMER CAPTURED ON TAPE COULD INSPIRE SOME MINDS HERE AND IN OTHER
AREAS.
REGARDS AND THANKS FOR THE NOTICE.

growers in the area I am starting a study group on

a week from this Tuesday on Rudolf Steiner's "Spiritual
>Foundations for the Renewal of Agriculture," commonly referred in

>Traditionally, these
lectures are read as a group and questions that

the group from their level of experience or

format we will follow with this group. The

Creeger/Gardener translation. For those who

best source: http://www.jpibiodynamics.org/.
