Growers Information Portals
Growers Information Portals are designed to optimize growers’ and Extension agents’ efforts by creating a one-stop shop for a specific agricultural commodity. Each portal contains resources on:
- Production
- Business management
- Food safety
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
- Marketing
- Risk management
Visitors will find these materials and more, most of which are specific to North Carolina production of a certain crop. The goal is to provide growers and Extension agents with the information they need to maintain and grow a successful agricultural operation in North Carolina.
These portals were developed by N.C. MarketReady with funding from the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission and the Agricultural Advancement Consortium of the N.C. Rural Economic Development Center.
