Marketing Partners

"Utilize VGN as a resource to see how different production areas are coping with the ever changing environment that is today's fresh fruit and vegetable production."

"I use it to see what’s going on in our industry, cutting edge growers sharing a competitive advantage as well as, advertisers sharing new inputs coming, if not already available."

"I use VGN to keep up with new developments in vegetable production, especially, for small farms. I read the articles on pest and disease management, and new varieties."

"I find it to be useful because it lets me be aware of what is happening in other parts of our country as far as production is concerned.... They might be trying something new that hasn't made it here to Central Illinois and I can be on the cutting edge to get it put in and maybe get that small component that puts me ahead in the buyer's market."

“Decade Products was very satisfied with our print and digital campaigns .... For many of the campaigns, we had an average open rate of 24.5%, which is much higher than the industry average. By doing print ads, e-newsletters and being put on the FGN/VGN websites, we saw an increase in new customer business. With the world constantly changing to a digital footprint, this was necessary for the future growth of Decade Products.”
