Hi, Dr. Schroeder:

Direct seeding shrub, tree and grass species has been practising for 
a long time in China, particularly in North part of China. Direct 
seeding plants (trees, shrubs and grasses) by airplanes has also been 
used successfully for decades in China. There may be tens of 
publications on this subject, but in Chinese. 

In North part of China, particularly in Northwest, rain fall is about 
200-400 mm. It is there the air seeding started the first practice. I 
believe it is feasible to practice direct seeding in Saskatchewan.

I am going to Sasktoon on April 27. If you feel neccessary, We may 
meet at Saskatoon.
