Welcome to the Vegetable Crops Hotline (VCH), Purdue Extension’s exclusive newsletter for people in the business of growing vegetables.
Spring arrived, and that included severe storms and tornadoes. Our hearts go out to those families and farms that were affected by last week’s storms. This issue contains a lot of information about emergency preparedness and Indiana FSA risk management and disaster resources.
Frequently we include links to websites or publications that are available online. If you can’t access these resources, don’t hesitate to contact your local Extension office or us to request a hard copy of the information.
Remember that all previous articles published in the VCH newsletter are available on the VCH website.
What are your most important issues on the farm?
Growers, tell us what you would like Purdue Specialists and ANR Educators to write about. I want to ensure we cover your most important issues in our newsletter. We had a very poor response to the first survey, and therefore, I have opened the survey again. It will take you less than 30 seconds to complete. Click here for the survey. Or scan the QR Code. Please complete this survey by April 20, 2023.
Enjoy reading this issue. Do not hesitate to contact me, Petrus Langenhoven, at plangenh@purdue.edu if you have any questions or suggestions to improve the newsletter.
