Any and all suggestions are fair game on fundraising.  It has gotten a 
little difficult with a lot of non-profit money going to Tsunami and New 
Orleans relief.

I agree with Lawrance that once we have something on line to show we 
will have better chance at getting the funding we need.  What amount are 
we talking about, and how much longer will this project take?  Seems the 
Rockafellow Brothers foundation in Arkansas would be prime candidates 
since they are big Ag funders.
