An alphabetical index of plant names (common & scientific)
Common names as well as scientific names
Could be published more frequently, say three monthly
Difficulty in finding information quickly (An index will be added in future)
Generally happy with newsletter, all info newsworthy
I find the Newsletter interesting. It will be beneficial if other new crops from Asia, Africa and South America be included in your future articles/ Limited impact on North America
Keep index on separate page
Lack of peer review of major articles
Light, lacking practical substance; written academically
Maybe dividing the new large edition into discrete sections
More depth into specific crops would be better
More focus on temperate regions
More illustrations
Not enough cynicism; more devil's advocates
One of the more comprehensive newsletters and reflects well on compilers
Scope too broad, concentrate on crops by market and region
Some of the publications are very statistical, but I feel a little removed from hands on
The layout; article and sections beginnings and endings are not clear
Unsure how to apply the information in my situation
