John also wanted to make note 

 that watershed rules were on the 

 horizon. The information regarding 

 this matter from Farm Bureau's Fri- 

 day Review was shared. It was sug- 

 gested that this information be sent 

 to our members. John suggested we 

 keep our eye on this, as it might 

 eventually impact members with op- 

 erations near watershed areas. 



Open Items 



A motion was made for NHPGA 

 to vote in $100 towards a prize for 

 the NH Pumpkin Growing Associa- 

 tion. John approved, Brett second- 

 ed, unanimous vote followed. It was 

 seen as a good opportunity to get 

 the NHPGA name in front of grow- 

 ers and the general public. 



Cathy asked about marketing 

 plans for the Best Plants book. Gin- 

 ny will follow up with Holly.
