Lines: 49 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Reply-To: David Bromage <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:4201 news.groups:85865 sci.environment:37233 talk.environment:15745 bionet.general:6859 bionet.agroforestry:403 sci.misc:9247 alt.sustainable.agriculture:1611  I propose a new unmoderated newsgroup called sci.agriculture. The main aim of sci.agriculture is to provide a forum for the discussion of agricultural matters and related fields.  This RFD is being cross-posted to the following newsgroups: alt.sustainable.agriculture bionet.agroforestry bionet.general news.announce.newgroups news.groups sci.environment sci.misc talk.environment  Could people reading this post mention it to colleagues and friends who might be interested and benefit from an agriculture group but do not normally read these newsgroups.  Proposed Name of Group ----------------------    sci.agriculture (unmoderated)  Topics for discussion would include : ------------------------------------- Land management Water management Soils Erosion Forestry Hydroponics Aeroponics Aquaculture Permaculture Economic aspects Advice and assistance including personal experience Announcement of forthcoming courses and conferences Discussion and criticism of literature Any other relevant topics  Discussion of this RFD is to take place in news.groups. For those reading other newsgroups, a followup to this article should appear automatically in news.groups.
