news stations, such as CNN, The Weather Channel and MSNBC, and sports

“NCGA continues to look for things that will
assist growers and benefit our operations,” said Dave Boettger,
chairman of the Grower Services Action Team. “I encourage our
members to check out this opportunity. It gives growers instant access
to news, weather and sports.”

“This is a great opportunity for our members,”
said Byron Keelin, NCGA’s membership manager. “We’re
offering substantial discounts on these products. It’s another
way that NCGA is trying to build value for our members.”
NCGA sent members coupon books in May with savings
on software, test kits, publication subscriptions, Internet access,
magazine and newsletter subscriptions and more. Keelin said NCGA is
always on the lookout for getting discounts for growers.
“We’ve
been able to give growers some excellent deals recently, and we’re
continuing to keep an eye out for new ones,” Keelin said.
