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.
