Sponsorship
From time to time, the Cornell Vegetable Program looks for financial support from agri-businesses to supplement our commitment to bring affordable, research-based knowledge to producers in New York State. Sponsorship opportunities exist to support some of our educational workshops and support VegEdge newsletter. Each sponsorship opportunity listed below provides information on sponsorship costs, target audience, estimated audience size, and company recognition.

VegEdge Sponsorship Opportunities
VegEdge is the highly regarded newsletter produced by the Cornell Vegetable Program primarily for growers and agribusiness professionals in 14 counties in western and central New York. In 2025, VegEdge will be produced every few weeks, with frequency increasing leading up to and during the growing season -- 20+ issues in all! The newsletter will reach approximately 700 vegetable growers, industry representatives and university researchers across NYS and neighboring states. Readers find information on pest concerns and management, production tips, upcoming meetings, availability of educational materials, pesticide updates, cultural practices, marketing ideas and venues, and research results.
Sponsors will be featured on the second to last page in each issue of VegEdge (for print recipients and in the online PDF). Sponsoring companies may provide a logo and 3 lines of text to accompany the logo. Logos will be hyperlinked to your company website.
