owned that much nonagricultural land was wealthy enough to buy and read all
the books necessary to understand his problems.



Barbara,

This may be the result of the agent's own personal decision, not an office or political decision. Here in Virginia we had an agent who had that philosophy -- he'd talk to anybody in the business of horticulture, but shuffled homeowners off to the volunteer Master Gardener corps. When he left and a new agent took his place, the situation did a complete reverse. She steers professionals to the horticultural program at a local college, and devotes her time to homeowners. Her philosophy is that since professionals profit from their knowledge, they should be willing to pay for acquiring it!

Lina, who'll join you in that rain dance any day!
