Nick Weinstock - BOTL Farm says:
would creating a category for initiatives in the forum make more sense. This could encourage more discussion about each project.

Would love to touch base on the grazing module - we have a producer group interested in how to best capture rangeland management data and relate it to ecological outcomes.

Greg says:
Yeah but they also want to know the diff between actual v planned. So this is why bringing more examples helps us refine how these things can get used.
