Subject: **Seeking Drylands Permaculture Farmer*
_____________________________
Dear Permaculturists --
In 2009, Becky Elder, Jason Gerhardt and I are convening a Permaculture
Design Course in the panhandle of Nebraska, at the request of local
residents.
We are seeking someone who produces food on the high arid plains using
Permaculture design principles, strategies and techniques, especially on
large-scale acreages.
Are you -- or do you know someone who is -- demonstrating some or all of
these on the high arid plains:
Windbreaks and earthworks
Soil regeneration
No-till systems
Perennial polycultures
Integration of plants and animals
Diversity
Productivity
Economic sustainability
on a large scale (preferably over 100 acres)?
If so, please give me a call! Farming experience is more important than
teaching experience -- our teaching team will support you.
Our teaching team will be visiting the proposed site in Nebraska next
week, and giving an introductory presentation to local residents on
Tuesday, February 10th.
Thanks so much for your assistance!
