I won't be at this conference but I have met mr Kirscheman and he will undoubtably give a great talk. If you don't know about him he used to farm 10K acres of organic wheat in S. Dakota than retired and became head of the Leopold Center at U. of Iowa

Is there a Bible meeting at the Festivals?? Or could there be?? A tent meeting perhaps? It would be a good topic and one that might bring some folks to a meeting that wouldn't otherwise attend?

All gardening seems to be faith based. <grin>
