Welcome to a new year of the Vegetable Crops Hotline (VCH), Purdue Extension’s newsletter for people in the business of growing vegetables. As usual, we will have fifteen issues throughout the 2018 growing season. The first issue of the year is sent to all who subscribed to VCH via US-mail in 2017 as well as new subscribers for 2018. To continue receiving future copies through US-mail, renew your Hotline subscription using the forms attached to this issue. Note that we provide an up-to three years’ subscription of VCH with a reduced price.
If you receive the issue through email, you will continue to receive the newsletters on the issue dates. In addition, you will receive emails if there are articles or announcements that need your immediate attention. These articles will be posted under Hot Topics and be included in the next issue. All the previous articles published in VCH are available on the website, and you will find additional articles under Veggie Extras.
Frequently we include links to websites or publications available on-line. If you aren’t able to access these resources, please contact us or a local Extension office to request a hard copy of the information.
We hope you enjoy the newsletter, and have a happy and productive season in 2018.
