[rimprona] start RIMpro 2017

Tue Mar 21 13:11:50 EDT 2017

Hi Jim,

As Dave said we have some clarification to do. The main aims of HVRL's
partnership
with growers on learning RIMpro use for 2017 are:

1. Offer all interested eastern NY apple growers to learn how to use RIMpro
in partnership with HVRL. We all view 2017 as an experimental year where we
all learn (all East NY growers were invited to consider joining this
partnership with HVRL and it was their free will to decide whether to join
this partnership or not).

2. Establish connection directly between HVRL and growers to form ENY Apple
Farm user group in RIMpro for learning purposes (due to subscription-based
nature of RIMpro and differences between user group vs. consultancy mode in
its use).

3. Use this partnership to deliver RIMpro output interpretations from HVRL
to subscribed growers for 10-12 representative stations we choose. We would
deliver this info via 3 region-specific e-mail lists to provide learning
opportunity and to acclimate growers for independent RIMpro use in the
future. We view RIMpro as one more tool in their decision making toolbox.
We wish RIMpro subscribed growers through our partnership to receive HVRL
interpretations directly from us. Growers can then decide who they wish
share it with: consultants, scouts, any third party that helps them in
their work. We will only deliver our RIMpro interpretations directly to
grower e-mails since NEWA stations are owned by growers. It is their
responsibility
afterwards to decide who they share their RIMpro data with (within the
account type boundaries set by RIMpro:
http://www.rimpro.eu/faces/register_1.xhtml).

If your growers connect their NEWA stations to RIMpro using their names and
e-mails, they can join HVRL's ENY Apple Farm user group after that. I do
not see any issue in you helping them do this:
1. Contact HVRL's administrator Erica Kane at 845 691 7151 so she can get
names, e-mails and phone numbers of your growers,
2. She will then contact these growers and arrange the payment of the the patch
fee between RIMpro and NEWA,
3. She will then fill out the NEWA form for them and send it to Dan
Olmstead,
4. Due to soon coming spring these growers should pay subscription to
RIMpro online immediately,
5. Once they receive datafile links from Dan Olmstead I will send them the
tutorials on how to connect the station, join ENY Apple Farm user group,
put in BIOFIX's etc.

We wish to follow certain procedure that is same for all growers who joined
our user group and a hierarchy in delivering our partnership information.
Finally, we wish to be fair to all other consultants by avoiding any
potentially viewed favoritism of HVRL to specific consultants with whom
growers have arrangements with.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

All the best,
