Stand Up: Be Heard and Counted TODAY

By Cheryl Boyer, Professor and Extension Specialist, Nursery Crop Production and Marketing

 

You have an opportunity to engage with legislators—both state and federal—right now.

“The Census of Horticultural Specialties collects information to provide a comprehensive and detailed picture of the horticultural sector of the U.S. economy. It is the only source of detailed production and sales data for floriculture, nursery, and specialty crops for the entire United States. For the 2019 Census of Horticultural Specialties, an operation is defined as any place that grew and sold $10,000 or more of horticultural specialty products during the census year.”

If you have not filled this out, please do so ASAP—Be Counted!

Participating in listening sessions and discussions, filling out surveys, and contributing to grant review panels are critical ways you can help us so we can help you with teaching, research, and extension—the Land-grant university missions. Thank you for engaging with these essential processes.
