Extract

Dr. Henry has prepared a very thorough and thoughtful assessment of research needs concerning the relationships between farms and rural communities in the South. He has been true to his reputation—Dr. Henry does not skim lightly over any topic. He has diagnosed the subject area carefully, referenced current literature in his appraisal of research and policy needs, and drawn very defensible conclusions. Better still, his conclusions are basically consistent with my biases. To have one's intuitive conclusions substantiated by the experts is heady stuff indeed. The points in his paper with which I disagreed most consistently were found in extensive quotes from others, so we are clearly both on the right track.
