Recently there was a meeting of Growers, Scientists, and Pest control advisors from various companies held at the Dryden Gun Club. The subject of discussion was “how to communicate research funded to the growers”. From that meeting a list of resources was assembled and this is the first edition of the list. This is a growing list and if you have another source of information you believe to be relevant, please contact Randall Chipman at Chipman.randall@gmail.com 509-860 0712and he will handle the rest.
