Audio Newsletter Survey Reminder and Upcoming CEU Program

Howdy all!
Just a reminder that we are seeking feedback regarding our audio newsletter specifically from our GROWERS who listen to the IPM Audio Updates (which are tagged at the end of every post). We are interested in knowing more about our clientele, and your response would be very much appreciated!

For this area (Upper Gulf Coast), here is the link to the Blacklands Upper Gulf Coast Grower Survey. The surveys are very short and consist only of 3 questions.
