[Tammy Howard]

Hi there!

Please consider forwarding this to your specialty crop producer contacts or filling it out yourself. The Montana Department of Agriculture would like your feedback in making the Specialty Crop Block Grant program better.

MDA Agricultural Development and Marketing Bureau has recently begun working with a research firm to assess the current state of marketing and development of specialty crop products in Montana so that we can better understand and support the marketing needs of Montana specialty crop producers.  I’m sending this message to ask for your assistance.  We need your help to reach specialty crop producers and collect data to provide input to the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program.



We ask that you please share this producer survey with your relevant contacts: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/6713878/MT-Specialty-Crop-Marketing-Survey-Producers [survey.alchemer.com] [nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com]<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__https%3A%2Fnam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps*3A*2F*2Furldefense.com*2Fv3*2F__https*3A*2Fsurvey.alchemer.com*2Fs3*2F6713878*2FMT-Specialty-Crop-Marketing-Survey-Producers__*3B!!GaaboA!7YRzSBzsXisfjIxe7VE0X5lQMesBRXnt4TzAkqq9QqkvZEuoAGSc5kVMe8W5golU*24%26data%3D04*7C01*7Ctammyh*40ncat.org*7C48106cfffe164fd051b308d9fd748e7d*7C833912b329304964ab4dec38e988d2c4*7C0*7C0*7C637819499755529961*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0*3D*7C1000%26sdata%3D*2BT4vm5y1tldVoNlb3e*2BS3AK518Udf4534ON*2F*2FQQeKUA*3D%26reserved%3D0__%3BJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSU!!GaaboA!5ijqghLJpyujiS7IaJbCeiwYQHaq4dGDLzEKn1hDEZgi9LszpHZLWPii7YgMQy40%24&data=04%7C01%7Ctammyh%40ncat.org%7Cb8b9742c75b448cdb1a308d9fe002738%7C833912b329304964ab4dec38e988d2c4%7C0%7C0%7C637820099191451455%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=uOez43ZoV6gFLY3XT0w3%2BY0K1GIiWD6wsyMnhXksNsY%3D&reserved=0>.  The survey should take about 10-15 minutes and is a great opportunity for producers to provide feedback to the MDA regarding their experience producing and marketing specialty crops.



Please let me know if you’d like more information or have any questions.



Thanks for your help!
