From the perspective of the farmers we talk to, it was about outcomes. Tell us what you want, and we'll figure it out.
It's not quite as simple as that, of course. It requires research and practical application. The farm is a whole unit. It's not one particular practice or another. In many cases, like Mr. Thompson's, for example, it includes both livestock and crops that need to be balanced. It's about flexibility and understanding that there is a capacity among the farmers themselves to make a right decision if you have the appropriate information available.
