interview summaries for yesterday and today

[Kerem Alper]

my notes from interviews yesterday and today are attached. we had already consolidated all our notes from the previous dates in Brendan's computer; he will also add his notes to these, so we'll have everything summarized. 

overall:

• the trip was very productive. i learned more over the last 3-4 days than i did during my internship this summer. 
• i'd put the feedback from farmers between encouraging and very encouraging. there is a real need for what we are doing among the large farms and they are ready to pay real money for solutions ($1,000-$10,000+). the question comes down to: how many of these 500+ acre commodity crop growers are there in the U.S.
• Shonda is an amazing woman. we are very lucky to know her. 
• Clarksdale is hot as shit; has some of the most friendly and kind people and they fry everything that can be fried. 

I'm at nest tomorrow morning/early afternoon; then will come to campus.
