I really hope noone paid any attention to what you wrote here. You have no 
clue to
what is actually going on in small to medium scale agriculture im the US, 
what those farmers are doing
and their hopes and aspirations for the future. Do you work for a living? Do 
you do anything ag-related?
I didn't think so. I wish you would quit trying to jack this project around 
with your negativism and apathy
about uses for PIW in the field of farming and gardening, topics you 
obviously know little or nothing about
and have even less interest in. Stick to the contributions you offered to 
make toward software development.
