task that the chemical people thrive on.  Compost TEA, ACT , has the
capability of growing so big it can take on the work of the chemical
and pesticide producers?   Since the heads of the government
agencies originated in part from the chemical fertilizer, pesticide
conglamorate(s) there may be reluctance to let it grow freely?  
Seems to fit an article that Paul Sachs presented on the web this
AM. Or could it stem from, ACT is a late commer among TEA s,  some
of which were not that safe or reliable or useful?  We need to keep
showing safe results, consistant results and keep pushing the top
wheels with good evidence and MANY acres of successful
demonstations,  When the consumers insist on organic and the farmers
insist on oranic the top wheels will not stop the move.

discover a movement and get out in front?   -  Hmmm all but Elaine. 
A leader really out in front taking all the hits and holding
steady !   But Elaine isn't a political leader.  Scientists are
pioneers  Arrows in back. grin  Bob .
