I began blogging about agriculture and related issues in July of 2009. Since that time I have posted nearly 200 times: on Sustainablog, Red Green and Blue, Eat Drink Better, on News Blaze, on Biofortified and on Applied Mythology only. I've also posted 15 larger documents on SCRIBD. I've classified these posts by topic below and provided links. I appreciate comments even on the older posts.
