I want to thank those of you who sent me your nominees for inspirational
voices for sustainable agriculture and cropping systems. The list follows
this introductory paragraph; it is complete with exception of
self-nominees. I am sure this is not a complete list nor should any list of
this type ever represent itself to be. I hope you have found this
worthwhile. I have.
