The average on Exam I was 86.3 with a range of 97 to 75. I will pass

On Thursday, Nov 5, Sharon Duray will give a lecture on weed control.
Check out the website http://wric.ucdavis.edu/links.html UC Cooperative
Extension Website on weed information & control. It is also on the
Hort 431 Nursery Website under the “Specific Weeds” link.
It is a great website for weed control information. Other weed, pest
and pathogen diagnosis links can be found at the Hort 431 website: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/syllabi/431/links.html
CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!! You need to be working on your projects (which
is worth 25% of your total course grade). As you all know, there are
nursery catalogs and other references in HFSB 401 that can be signed
for and checked out, and old samples of wholesale and retail nursery
projects for you to review; these are in available in Dr. He’s
office (HFSB 415), but are not to be taken from his office.
Keep in mind that I want 1,2 and 3 year financial projections in your
projects (cash flow)—which is what would be expected if you were
applying for a SBA loan.
[Projections: Provide a projection of future operations for at least
three years or until positive cash flow can be shown. Include earnings,
expenses, and reasoning for these estimates. The projections should
be in profit & loss format. Explain assumptions used if different
from trend or industry standards and support your projected figures
with clear, documentable explanations.]
There is no Lab this week – so use the time to work on your
projects.
.
Have a Great Week!
