With the version 1.92 i was able to take MARC records exported as an ISO 2709 and import them into the breeding farm. i was then able to search for records and then import them into KOHA. To do this I reversed the changes that had been made to fit Winisis such as the subfield delimiters, the end of field and the end of record symbols.

Do not use breeding farm to migrate from a previous ILS.
Use the bulkmarcimport script, in misc directory.
bulkmarcimport is batter, as it puts iso2709 file directly in ACTIVE db, 
where breeding farm is used to put "not yet used, but could be useful" 
biblios somewhere and find them when cataloguing.
