Newsletters

MISS Newsletters are produced primarily for agronomists and what concerns them and their farm customers.  Really just about everything in agriculture in some way or another touches us.  There are also subjects of general interest and reprints from ag publications that are passed along with "Tom's Comments."  Tom doesn't claim to possess any great insight or wisdom, he forms his beliefs from what he has experienced during his fifty plus years in agriculture.

The newsletter is compiled during our slower seasons, January through mid April and in July thru mid September.  The newsletter is emailed to our customers and prospects.  During the busy season, some former newsletters are posted on our web site while we are out in the field.
