OF Dec Jan 2020

Dear Reader,
I am grateful for another successful year of reporting tree nut news to you. For nearly a decade,
West Coast Nut magazine has been sent to your farm. With a humble beginning of 3,500 subscribers,
West Coast Nut magazine has become the thought leader in connecting news, research, and
innovative articles to help tree nut growers farm more effectively. Thank you for allowing West Coast
Nut to take part in making a difference in our industry.
Over the last decade West Coast Nut has anchored and paved the way for many other ag-related ventures.
JCS Marketing offers two other publications, Organic Farmer and Progressive Crop Consultant
Magazines, as well as monthly newsletters, virtual events, live events, podcasts, videos, and more.
Today, JCS Marketing reaches over 38,000 subscribers.
It is truly a privilege to help so many farmers throughout the West Coast. If you have not had the opportunity
to read about innovations in the industry that we are covering, I would encourage you to
visit our website at wcngg.com to learn more about the great information you are currently missing
out on. And update your subscriber information including an email so can provide you with all the
important news we send out.
JCS Marketing’s future is bright as we continue to innovate and lead the pack with new opportunities
year in and year out. We continue to expand our digital footprint, events, and offer endless opportunities
to expand your knowledge about farming in California. Our publications offer the biggest
variety of content that is relevant to growing your crops. JCS Marketing assists thousands of agribusinesses
grow in revenue and sales with more effective farming practices. Thank you for being part of
the growth.
The holidays are a time to reflect on all the great things that have happened to us throughout the year.
This year I would like to extend my gratitude to my family, my work family, and our industry. Though
this year has been a tough and trying year with the pandemic, political, and economic challenges, I
am grateful for the opportunity to be part of agriculture and what we do for the world. Like many of
you, I look forward to life returning to a sense of normalcy. But in the meantime, I continue to reflect
on the things in life that I have taken for granted and miss so much, like a good old-fashioned live ag
trade show.
I personally would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I look forward to a
brighter 2021.
