Title: Re: [nafex] More on Stark

Believe me, I've tried, but most magazines won't take an article strictly about NAFEX.  Best I've been able to do is slip reference to NAFEX into articles I sell on growing fruit.  (I do THAT quite often). The single word reason is "Editors".  If they don't want it, it doesn't get printed, no matter how good you think it is.  An organization of fruit lovers isn't "news" enough by itself - you have to be able to tie it to something special.
    I will say that anyone on any relevant e-list can put in a plug for NAFEX  - just remember http://www.nafex.org

    Some 4-6 years ago, I tried for a couple of years to get Lee Reich, Lon
Rombough, and a local
garden writter, Maggie Oster to write a rah-rah story on the shear educational
benefits of NAFEX
for a pub. like Readers Digest, Midwest Living, Southern Living, etc., etc., and
of course, etc.
All said it was a worthwhile project, but for reasons totally not clear to me,
it never happened.
