Thanks to subwaypanther for getting the ball rolling on sadly forgotten way to share relevant information. in order to make this as relevant to your collective interest as possible, I'd like to solicit feedback from forum participants regarding what topics you'd enjoy learning more about.

Gathering this feedback will help me develop relevant questions for the grower(s) as well as help identify who may be tapped to lend their expertise/experience.

Please, if you will, reply to this post with questions/suggestions that you'd like to see covered in a featured grower chat.

What are some of the major difference from growing styles now, compared to just 7 years ago and why?

This list could go on and on for the newer grower, the note taking during one chat season could be pages long.

With the new products surfacing every year, It might be a good idea to get someone on here that can explain what they do, when and how much to use etc

If its the same time as the auctions, those of us in Europe will probably suffer again!

When I visit other growers patches I see all kinds of ways they make they're growing season "easier" some of them include weed suppression, water collection, broad forks, screen netting and ways to support sunflowers/Tall Corn. I would love to here some of the long time growers best tricks of the trade that make their efforts in the garden "easier".

Joze rather than grower chats I think that a group of top growers each pick a week to answer written questions on line. You will get better questions and answers if the questionnaire and the grower have time to put thought into it. Maybe they start with the same top ten questions. We all know where you grow can make a difference in the answers. I believe this was also done a few years back.

Greenhouse growing AG's in-season (non-winter). Basics, important considerations, differences vs field growing..... I'm sure some EU growers could provide great guidance it seems more popular on that side of the pond. I feel strongly this is the future of growing record AG's.

What the main things that they feel help increase and sustain growth in August and September?

Being a second year grower, all types of information would be very beneficial. As they always say, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Bring on the BIG DOGS.

I like the idea of a "featured" question and get ALL the TOP answers/secrets ;) ... the chat would be more fun and the forum more informative ... maybe starts in the chat and carries over to a forum.

I like eddy's suggestion and would like to add, delivery mechanisms for those products. Examples of foliar application vs drenches. Thanks Joe.
