Brusko at Rodale Institute, was used liberally in<br />
the development and writing of this second<br />
edition.<br />
Mary Gold and Abiola Adeyemi, from the<br />
Alternative Farming Systems Information Center<br />
at the National Agricultural Library,provided comprehensive<br />
literature searching and facilitated the<br />
duplication and lending of cover crop literature<br />
to the writers. Abiola Adeyemi also compiled<br />
parts of the Appendices and provided<br />
clerical support,particularly during<br />
the reviews of the book.<br />

The USDA Sustainable Agriculture<br />
Research and Education (SARE) program<br />
funded the project as part of its<br />
support of the Sustainable Agriculture Network<br />
(SAN). SAN is the communications and outreach<br />
arm of the SARE program. Other SARE support<br />
came in the form of extensive planning, design,<br />
writing and editing by SARE communications<br />
specialist Valerie Berton, College Park, Md. SAN<br />
publications committee chair Beth Holtzman,<br />
Burlington,Vt., contributed publication oversight,<br />
contract management and overall good sense<br />
about publishing sustainable agriculture information.<br />
Other members of the SAN<br />
Management Committee commented on<br />
early plans for the book, helped develop<br />
budgets, and were consulted on other<br />
aspects of the project as needed.<br />
As SAN Coordinator, I heartily thank all<br />
members of the sustainable agriculture<br />
community for their cooperation in providing<br />
information that will strenthen our agriculture<br />
for future generations. Such<br />
cooperation is truly the hallmark of the<br />
sustainable agriculture movement.<br />
