<div dir="ltr"><br>Hi Mike,<br><br>Good to hear from you. <br><br>We are not excluding the consultants from working with growers on the RIMpro project. Consultants working with growers can have full access to RIMpro going through
the growers subscriptions - this way there is no exclusion of
consultants using that route.
