Need to make a decision on when to do this. Gary and Mitch were going to write up a set of instructions on how to accomplish this using the existing standards. They have collected volumes of biocontrol data and want to submit them to the statewide database. Jim will provide his input on how we can modify the biocontrol data dictionary to accommodate the kind of information that people want to collect. Donna and Diana will coordinate their lists and the updated list will be included in the next printing of the Extension Bulletin.
People can easily add additional data elements where desired.
We will cooperate as much as possible, but aren't in a position to change the Montana standards.
