Article in todays Freep on HVX

Post by Queala »

Did anyone else see the article on HVX in todays Free Press? Page 8H. It is by Marty Hair. It is a short piece but hey anything to get the message out there. Tells about the virus and how to contain it. Also says to buy from reputable nurseries. That would be Chris and Brian. :D Also says to report it to company's manager and the state agriculture department. Just wondering if any one else saw it. Hope this is not posted some where else on the forum :wink:
