CALLING ALL COMMERCIAL GROWERS!

Regardless of the crop you grow or the size of your operation, your opinion matters. What types of agricultural programs would you like to see in the county? What are your major concerns or challenges in growing your respective crop? How would you like to see UW-Extension addressing those issues? There are unique challenges to growing crops in this part of the state, so I want my programming to address problems that really matter to the agricultural community here. If you grow crops for any commercial market, please take a few minutes to complete this anonymous survey. It will be active only until February 1, 2016, so don’t miss out. Thanks in advance for your help!   https://uwex.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_eVFhAcqBvleP41L
