Farming info

[bacpacker]

I ran across a couple of sites that have several PDF's and links to writing's. They looks to be quite a few on many various topics. I thought some of you might be interested. I'm gonna dig thru and print some out and maybe download some to the Kindle.

Here is the links:

BP, that's a nice find. Might be burning up a printer soon.

BP in the general sub-forum I started a thread called for useful links and info (I think! I've slept since then) Maybe we could coalesce all these links to one spot and make it a sticky. I listed Hesperia, and several others in there. I'll go searching and see what I can find. grumpy

I think you are right Grumpy, i seem to remember reading the OP. Merging them is fine with me. I just thought their appeared to be some good info.

There's great info at those links. I just would like to have all these links together so I don't have to remember which thread which link was in. I've got sporadic CRS.

You two need to get that sticky rolling before I work tomorrow. I should have a printer, a sliced up tree and 8 hours to burn......lol.
