NC Cooperative Extension Updates


2016 VEGETABLE PRODUCTION BOOKS
I have a very limited supply of the 2016 Vegetable Crop Handbooks. They are available to commercial farmers on a first-come, first-served basis. Keep in mind that there are only minor changes from year to year, so if you have last year’s edition you may find that adequate.
