New Web Resources for the Vegetable and Fruit Industries in Delaware

Gordon Johnson, Extension Fruit & Vegetable Specialist; gcjohn@udel.edu

As many of you know, I maintained an agricultural blog on the web when I was a county agent in Kent County, Delaware. The blog became an important resource for up-to-date information for growers and crop advisors in mid-state (www.kentagextension.blogspot.com). In my new position as Vegetable and Fruit Specialist for University of Delaware Cooperative Extension, I will no longer be updating that blog on a regular basis, although it will remain up as a resource.

However, I have started a new blog specifically for the vegetable and fruit program. It is at http://udelvegetable.blogspot.com/. I will be making daily posts to this site so check it out on a regular basis.

Another great resource will be the website of the Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association of Delaware. It is at http://delawarefruitvegetable.org/. Click on the Blog/News tab for current updates and news of importance to the vegetable and fruit industry in Delaware.

Of course, don’t forget our existing UD vegetable program webpage at http://ag.udel.edu/extension/vegprogram/index.htm. You will find variety trial results, links to publications, vegetable budgets, and other resources there.
