From the Publisher...
Dear West Coast Nut Reader,
Mid-Valley
Nut Conference
I would like to begin by saying thank you
to all who have participated in reading the
magazine this year. I know that there are
many that don’t miss a single issue and I am
so grateful for you and your dedication to
farming. This publication was created for
you and to help each of us continue to move
the nut industry forward. What an exciting
and challenging year for our industry.
Seven years ago, when I first published
West Coast Nut, we began with 3,500
readers throughout the state. Today I am
happy to report that we reach nearly 15,000
readers on the West Coast. I attribute this
success to a growing interest in more effective
farming in today’s difficult conditions.
West Coast Nut is the leading publication
to help growers and other allied professions
grow tree nuts more effectively with
timely articles on Best Practices, Laws and
Regulations, and New Technologies. West
Coast Nut provides the industry with 12 print
issues per year, 5 trade shows across the
state, and a monthly e-newsletter to help
keep each of you informed. I hope you find
the information valuable and timely.
It seems like every month I learn about a
law or regulation that is getting in the way
of allowing our industry to grow, making it
harder and harder to farm effectively. Our
best chance for future success is to get
involved. Have a voice, contact local and
state leaders and voice your concerns. We
must teach the next generation the values
of defending our farming rights and instill a
love of agricultural to them. I look forward
to another great year in one of agriculture’s
finest industries. May we all have a wonderful
holiday season. Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year to all!
Happy Holidays,
Jason Scott
