Marketing for Growers: Why Branding Matters

In this episode of Hort Culture, we explore the topic of branding for farms and businesses. After chatting about spring rains, gardening chores, and Kentucky's unpredictable late frosts, we shift to a lively discussion with Brett from the Center for Crop Diversification (CCD) about their "Marketing for All" project. We emphasize that marketing—especially branding—is essential for selling crops and not just growing them. Branding involves defining the core message and values of a business, guiding all marketing activities. The CCD team offers a brand builder worksheet to help farmers clarify their identity across several spectrums (e.g., personable vs. professional, modern vs. classic). We also discuss differences between price-driven and credence markets, customer behavior at markets, and how different types of farms might approach marketing. Key tips include using consistent imagery, breaking tasks into simple steps, and leveraging email as a powerful, underused tool. Listeners are encouraged to check out CCD resources and reach out with questions.Marketing for AllCenter for Crop DiversificationQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@l.uky.eduCheck us out on Instagram!

In this episode of Hort Culture, we dive into the challenges of late spring frosts and freezes. We talk about how to tell if a freeze has hit, why it's important to cover vulnerable plants (and why plastic is not your friend), and the best materials to use for protection. We also share why it's so important to wait before reacting to frost damage, giving plants time to show how they've been affected. You'll hear us describe signs like "melted" herbaceous plants, "bud blast" in peonies, and frost rings on apples. We get into how different plant stages—like swollen buds and early color—can mean different levels of vulnerability, especially for fruit trees. Outside of the garden, we also share some of our favorite non-plant springtime activities, from watching basketball tournaments to grilling and fishing.

Following are Flood Recovery tips from the W.V.U. Extension Service. Until tested, flooded feeds should be considered harmful to animals.  After a flood, wet feed and grain will begin to heat and mold very quickly, leading to spoilage, mycotoxins, and potential spontaneous combustion.  Remove unaffected grain and bales immediately and store them separately; moisture will quickly spread.    Flooded seed grain, hay, and silage are likely a complete loss.  When in doubt, don't risk it, throw it out!  Learn more at your local extension office, or online at https://extension.wvu.edu/community-business-safety/disaster-preparedness/flooding
