[Sc-aquaponics] FW: Aquaponics

[Tiu, Laura]

Wisconsin is doing a nice job of coordinating their aquaponics industry.  There is a proposal to try and create a regional group to share resources.  Perhaps we can create some of our own lists here in Ohio.  Information is the key to success. I'm going to try and attend their next conference call (open to everyone) to get some ideas.  Anyone else interested?
