James Yes It is really no different in BD organizations. It is their job to hold the status quo,
GA IS it .Or is it to responsibly develop and be a conduit for the character of its membership. Are council members rulers or servants of the membership, and as a gardener,to faciliate the unique character of the environment they have in front of them. > Just because you are a BD farmer, or an anthropop does not mean that > your belief systems will carry you through.

GA There are plenty of real needs out there, and call me old fashion , but this is what I thought Biodynamics was all about. Problem solving. In my recent discussion with HortResearch they are now investigating funding avenues. Apart from their own interest in financial benefit it seems the results from the frost protection followed by theThe Bird Scare, has caught their imagination. I am most interested in the philosophical implications of the Bird Scare in particular. No doubt there will be avoidance on a massive scale, as has been the response when I have reported similiar results in my monthly article in a local ag paper. Not a ripple. Hauschka commented in 'Nutrition" when science can not understand something they avoid it. Not deny or persecute just avoid. I guess since the death of pure science, and the birth of corporatised science, it is all about the $ a product spins. Luckily growers do not seem to have a problem with products that have a science proof and works.
