I got onto the one in fw last year but was 3rd in line :( the chap was only selling because a neighbour with a newer one was upgrading but it was quite old and not greenstar.

Will,
Off to Nuffield CSC on march 9th till 18th, would love to stay longer and visit guys there for a few weeks but my wife will be 38 weeks pregnant when I return home and I don't think she would still be my wife I I decided to extend my stay :? So I'll come home and be around home for a good few weeks over the spring/summer period. We've got a bit of outside work to do after the worst autumn/winter I can remember. I'm then planning on a chunk of travelling nov/dec and then more after Christmas!

I'm particularly looking for advice on names of no-till experts around the world with some reasonably long-term (over 10 yrs) experience. I'd particularly like to visit smart forward thinking farmers and advisors (agronomists and soil/ business advisors)

Countries looking to visit at the moment are Canada/USA/Brasil/Argentina/Australia/NZ and France (to see Frederic and his gang) and possibly York in Germany! Always good to think big!!

Tom, I have spent some time with Federic Rollo in Argentina, definetly worth a visit in my experience.

Tom,

If you go to Brazil John Lander would help you out.
Phil Needham would probably help out in Kentucky and around there
Sjoerd Duiker and a few others in Pennsylvannia
Dwayne Beck in S Dakota (a must visit)
Guy Lafond in Canada
The current president of Mandak no till is a Brit
Aapresid in Argentina
Also Rolf Derpsch in Paraguay would also give you some good Argentinan contacts
Oz - Bill Crabtree, Steve Ball (came over here as a nuffield)

Those sorts of people would also send you to a couple of places if you tell them where your intending to go. Personally I reckon Oz is a bit behind the curve and time is better spent in both n and s america (just my view!)
