Welcome to a new year of the Vegetable Crops Hotline, Purdue Extension’s newsletter for people in the business of growing vegetables. Our goal is to provide timely information that will be useful for Indiana vegetable growers. If there is something you’d like to see included, please let us know.
Frequently we include links to web sites 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 are excited to start the year with a new format for the online version of the newsletter. Each article will appear as an individual post on the site. Articles may be posted anytime they are written, not just every two weeks when an issue is compiled. When an issue IS compiled, it will include all the articles posted since the previous issue. In addition, the new format will permit searching of articles by keyword so it will be easy to locate past articles on a topic of interest.
We will continue producing and mailing a hard copy of the newsletter to subscribers, posting a pdf version online, and sending an email notification when a new issue is published.
This first issue of the year is sent to all who subscribed in 2014 as well as new subscribers for 2015. To continue receiving future copies by US mail, renew your Hotline subscription or Indiana Vegetable Growers’ Association (IVGA) membership for 2015 using the subscription form at ag.purdue.edu/hla/Extension/VegCropsHotline/Documents/VCHSubForm.pdf or the membership form at ivga.org/ivga_renewal.pdf. IVGA members receive the Hotline at no extra charge. When an issue is published we email an announcement to everyone who provides an email. A pdf version of the newsletter is available at ag.purdue.edu/hla/Extension/VegCropsHotline/Pages/Past-Issues.aspx.
