1. Letter of Invitation

Dear Northeast Sheep Producer,

I am leading a team of researchers for a grant proposed to Northeast SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education) for an applied research project that will (if funded) address the prevention, treatment and possible genetic resistance to foot rot in sheep. Our plan is to work with farms in the northeast region, including your state.

I would appreciate your input to the following short survey. Please complete the survey by Wednesday, January 27, 2010.

If funded, we will be seeking farms to participate in this project later this spring. You will have an opportunity to apply to participate at that time.

Thank You,

Dr. Richard Brzozowski
Extension Educator
University of Maine Cooperative Extension
