I'm glad ya'll's experience has been good; mine hasn't. Early days, I went to the local Small Biz Dev Ctr reps asked for help, told them what I wanted to do with the farm and was told, "gosh, it sounds like you know what you're doing. Good luck."

That was ten years ago and I haven't been back. Although, earlier this week, I sent an e-mail asking them about writing hard copy promo materials. I received a response that said, "blah, blah, blah...Microsoft Office is a good program..." Ummmm....nice answer but it's not the right answer.

My perspective is a bit jaded right now.

Perhaps I should bypass the SBDC and go straight to the SBA....?
