<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi folks,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We are working on a few related stories that affect most of us at some point. The topics are obviously sticky issues on almost every project and we are wondering how you deal with them. We have created a short survey for each topic, which are:</div><div class=""><ul class=""><li class=""><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1LYe0dbiChvHrmhlckwzJAWX2TEEXC9JBbcFF4pmkObk/viewform" class="">Appraisals of bale buildings</a></li><li class=""><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1HDor_qaJnmCYG_j_ALRSkd0LkkefTkpA1kPfobrVh2s/viewform" class="">Financing bale buildings</a></li><li class=""><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nH7GlnWq-HP8CpdP5mMeEP8Zna-Sbjx9cvwKZxdI_aQ/viewform" class="">Insurance for bale buildings</a></li></ul></div><div class="">Follow the links and please do as much as you can. We would like to share your input with the greater community and see where this goes. If it’s not obvious, the results will be used in articles in upcoming issues. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You are the first group of folks to see these surveys so let me know if there are questions we are missing. The point is to keep them short and easy, hopefully identifying specific areas for further research, so if changing one of the existing questions works for you it would be better than adding a bunch more questions.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
