Thank you, Nate, for letting us know about this interesting event on small-scale mechanization. With a background in international ag and rural development, I like to think I understand the context of small-scale and smallholder agriculture, and the potential for small-scale mechanization in the regional areas of focus in this event. At the same time I wonder if the topics may also have relevance - at least in terms of new perspectives - for small-scale or "artisanal" farming in other parts of the world where large-scale and industrial commodity production dominate. And indeed this set of topics may have broader relevance as we consider the place of millets (and other "specialty" crops) in the future of food and agriculture in North America. (The future of food resting as it does largely on "many" rather than simply on "more.") In any event, this sounds like a great learning opportunity!
