        For new growers (and others with a lot on their plate), remember to check with your local colleagues, associations, and extension offices about winter meetings in your area.  In the Gulf states, growers can look at the Deep South Fruit and Vegetable Growers Conference in Mobile, Alabama Dec. 8-10, 2004 (<www2.netdoor.com/~mfvga>) and the Southern SAWG (Sustainable Ag. Working Group) conference in New Orleans Jan 20-23 (<http://www.ssawg.org/conference-.html>).  Most of the meetings around the country are relatively inexpensive, highly informative, and great networking opportunities.  They are really the only places to meet dozens of growers and suppliers for a fresh crop farming/direct marketing business.
