| BYGL is very much appreciated by myself, employees, and customers. More than once this summer I was able to hand a copy of the BYGL article to a customer that just handed me a stem, leaf, or plastic bag full of bugs, and was able to solve their problems and back it up with your technical advice. The most satisfying times were when I needed help convincing them that it was not necessary to spray anything. Keep up the good work. |

| BYGL is our bible when it comes to writing articles for the newspaper, as well as keeping up on the horticultural happenings for the hotline. Thank you! |

| BYGL is . . .
No. 1. Saving the environment with information on proper pesticides used at the correct time. No. 2. Giving my business an edge when educating my customers. No. 3. Helping provide my customers with long-term results by using proper cultural practices. |

| A tremendous time saver by alerting us to what is going on in the landscape, as well as why, and what should be done (if anything). It also helps provide us with some credibility if we happen to tell a customer something they don't want to hear. BYGL has become an invaluable resource to the green industry. |

| BYGL is a wonderful source for news that is applicable to our area, as well as across the state. You become aware of the talented people that work with this program and their willingness to help with any and all problems. This is some of the best tax dollar expenditure and hopefully those in the state house will realize that. Environmental issues are becoming increasingly important. |
