Horticulture Highlights - Fall 2007

• Horticulture Highlights for Fall - The Specialty Crops Program:
  • The Specialty Crops Program targets all of North Carolina, and is a cooperative venture between the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at NC State University and the Division of Marketing at the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. It is coordinated by Jeanine Davis and her management team composed of Bill Jester and Nick Augostini.
  • The program works with faculty throughout the college, and is a resource for extension agents, farmers, entrepreneurs, markets, and consumers across the state. Recent research and extension efforts have been focused on lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, and medicinal herbs. For more information, see: http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/specialty_crops/
