Hey all: Dr. Fields and I are writing a Greenhouse Grower op-ed on substrates: Learning the from last few years to help prepare for the future. Thus, we wanted to get folks input to ensure an insightful and fun article. We were asked yesterday to submit by June 6; therefore, a quick reply would be appreciated. Thanks for your time and assistance. Quick impromptu poll (short answer): * What has been the largest grower struggle or problem with soilless substrates in either nursery or greenhouse production? * What do you think the substrates of the future will look like in greenhouse and nursery in coming years to decades? Sincerely, Jim [cid:[log in to unmask]]<https://twitter.com/USDA_ARS?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor> James S.
