Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope everyone had a fun-filled and joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year. The holidays went by in a flash and now its time to get the wheels turning again. In January I have the Fort Wayne Farm Show, some PARPS, lessons at the local library and also helping at the Indiana Green Expo for our Indiana turf and landscape folks. 

The first few months of the year are always packed with programing for famers and those in the green industry who are patiently waiting for spring. Late winter and into early spring is about the only time to attend workshops and classes for either PARP Credits or Category Pesticide Licenses. If you have questions about any of your numbers feel free to reach out to our office. 

Here's to a great start to 2024 and as always, If you have any questions feel free to reach out to the Extension Office and leave your name, phone number and e-mail address. 

Phone: 260-563-0661 (Ext 1408) or emailing me directly at gschortg@purdue.edu

Best Wishes,

Here we see youth harvesting microgreens from the grow tower at the North Manchester Library. 

Rolls that Geoff does for the NMPL Grow Tower. He starts seeds in his greenhouse with grow lights, helped to set up the set, serve as an advisory roll when questions arise.
