Don't put anything here which you think is of general interest to the Group - that can go into the main thread.
This is for niggling queries and answers about how this Loomio group works, voting procedures, and general administrative points about the Loomio group.

Just a heads up on voting..john and I will identify the choices which now seem appropriate based on the group's comments and interests. This round of voting will start later today and my suggestion is that __ the voting will end on Sunday 19th March at midnight. __ Comments to this, in this thread please.

This is the current proposal - discuss here anything about _ the mechanics of how to vote _..
Vote __ YES __ for WHEAT, with beans as a companion crop. Both these crops will be harvested, and available to sell.
Vote __ NO __ to reject wheat and beans in favour of SPELT with a companion under-story which will not be harvested, but will be a weed suppressant, soil building companion to the Spelt.
Vote __ ABSTAIN __ to reject wheat, beans and spelt in favour of regular HUSKED OATS with a companion under-story which will not be harvested, but will be a weed suppressant, soil building companion to the Oats
Vote __ BLOCK __ to reject wheat, spelt and ordinary oats in favour of NAKED OATS with a companion under-story which will not be harvested, but will be a weed suppressant, soil building companion the Oats.
__ * The merits of the different crops should NOT be discussed here, but please on the main thread. __

Dear Grahame
I am sorry I have been very busy this evening and could not phone.
Perhaps it can be fun next time.
Best. TonyA

Hi, I am sorry to trouble you in the exciting run-up to the next choice - it's because you are one of the minority of the OurFieldWeston group who has not yet had time to edit your Loomio profile and post a photo of yourself (nor your cat) .. If you can be troubled to do so, I'd like that so I can remember better who you are and what you look like, in case we collide in a field one day. Other members may want to recognise you too. x Grahame
_ PS the profile bit is a choice under the three horizontal bars in the top left of the Loomio window _

Today at midnight ends what will surely be the most important vote of the Our Group Weston - the decision on what crop to grow. So far, with 10 hours to go, only 11 members have cast votes, _ so it would be great to have your input, which could be decisive _ since the vote so far is __ neck and neck between Spelt and Wheat, with Naked Oats languishing in third. __

I'm happy with that, if we drill in April, we should have enough time to order seed and get organised. Viva prevarication!
