If our results suggest that greater local control over water, fertilizer, and energy are likely to increase resilience, sense of self determination, sense of community and well-being, and increased income or avoided costs, the future of rural America will look different. Success in the CARB through model assessment of future scenarios and well considered metrics enables would provide a national and international prototype of an optimistic future for presently stressed agricultural communities.
