Hello Dan,
Are you going to be at the growers' meeting in napa on Feb. 28th? I'm
asking because there will be a couple of speakers at the meeting that may
have access to some of the sensors you are asking about. One of the
speakers will be dealing with irrigation techniques, the other with soil
analysis. See you there? Chris Andersen (of Moraga) has lined up the
speakers so he could tell you more. We hope to see you there. Cindi and
Pete Glasier
