Low commodity prices and pockets of severe drought have spelled truly
tough times for farmers and ranchers in 1999. More than ever, producers
are considering alternatives to the status quo. The annual SARE Project
Highlights provides a snapshot of some of SARE'S most innovative projects
across the country that cut production costs, add value to agricultural
products, reduce impacts on natural resources, and enhance communities.
