Abstract

Preconditioning is far from static in the United States. After 23 years of working with the concept, there are still more questions than answers. Preconditioning is a theoretically sound concept. Testimonials of the benefits abound, especially in the Northern Great Plains and in the Southeast. Nevertheless, many of the claims for preconditioning are not substantiated by controlled research data.
