Life *does* have a reset button

In February of 2010, Dave will begin working as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer (PCRV) in Antigua & Barbuda, which are near Puerto Rico. The Caribbean Agri-Business Association (CABA) has requested a volunteer to teach computer topics as well as develop a database to help manage crop production. If I understand the problem correctly, farmers currently tend to plant items that command the highest market prices.
