Market Farming

[David Paysnick <davepays AT gmail.com>]

Mike,
I think it may help to clarify what a Facebook group is.  These are generally 
private groups that essentially operate as this list does, it's just a 
different format.  It's also  separate from marketing your farm via Facebook 
and your participation in the farmer discussion groups is not Visible to your 
customers. 

I'm not trying to  argue for Facebook but wanted you to know that on some 
groups the content is much the same (sometimes more specific like the 
"cultivating tractors" group), has a great community feel and is no more 
hanging laundry in public than this listserv.
