MISA's E-mail Discussion Groups

We also include links to some discussion groups administered by our colleagues in U of MN Extension. Anyone may join these groups, and there are no fees. Proper discussion group etiquette ("Netiquette") is expected and will be enforced at the discretion of the group administrator.
