Dear Pennsylvania GrowerThis special edition of the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers News, the monthly newsletter of the

Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association, has been prepared as a source book of information foryou, the Pennsylvania grower. We have listed various vendors of equipment, supplies and serviceswho deal with Pennsylvania growers. Keep this booklet handy to refer to throughout the year.We also ask you to consider joining the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association. If you are a veg-etable, potato or berry grower, you should belong to the organization that represents your industry.Founded in 1926, PVGA has been serving growers like you for 93 years. Your membership willstrengthen the Association’s position as the official voice of the vegetable, potato and berry industriesand will also provide numerous benefits to you.

For example, each year the Association co-sponsors the Mid-Atlantic Fruit and VegetableConvention in Hershey. This meeting is one of the most respected vegetable meetings on the EastCoast and offers three days of concurrent sessions on processing vegetables, fresh market vegeta-bles, potatoes, small fruits, bedding plants, direct marketing, organic vegetables, cut flowers and otherspecialty crops. As a member of the Association, you help make this convention possible and youreceive reduced registration fees. PVGA also sponsors regional grower meetings and farm markettours.

As a member, you will receive monthly subscriptions to this newsletter, the PennsylvaniaVegetable Grower News, to keep you informed on what is happening in the vegetable, potato andberry industries. PVGA members also receive free subscriptions to the American Vegetable Growerand the Vegetable Growers News.

Last year, the Association gave over $80 per member of the Association or a total of $80,000 toresearchers to sponsor practical vegetable and berry research. This was made possible through theAssociation’s food booth at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. The food booth also helps to promote thevegetable and berry products you produce.

PVGA represents the interests of the vegetable, potato and berry industries on both state and fed-eral issues. The Association contacts legislators regularly on issues that affect our growers. Specialattention is given to food safety, state budget appropriations, labor, deer crop damage, irrigation (wateruse), high tunnels, and pesticides as they relate to horticultural growers.The Association is also a member of the State Council of Farm Organizations, the United FreshProduce Association and the Penn State Agricultural Council, again with the purpose of representingthe vegetable, potato and berry industries in the public arena and to Penn State University researchersand administrators.

The bottom line is this. A $50 membership in the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association isworth every penny. For each member, about $80 is given to research, about $24 is spent to publishthe Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers News, and $90 or more per person can be saved on three-day registration fees for the Mid-Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable. That adds up to $194 or near 4X thereturn on your dues investment.
