Each published issue of Agronomy Journal (AJ) is the culmination of the efforts of many people. The work of our Editorial Board is essential to the publication of AJ. During the review process our editors work closely with both authors and reviewers. Editors provide valuable assistance to authors throughout the entire review process and they rely heavily on the recommendations provided by peer reviewers. All of our editors spend many hours of their valuable time performing their editorial tasks. I thank all of our Editorial Board, for without their efforts the journal would not be the preeminent publication that it is. I also extend particular appreciation to Managing Editor Susan Ernst for the final editing and the many other assignments done on behalf of the journal. Peer review is a fundamental function professionals perform in support of their science. The work performed by peer reviewers has a direct impact on the quality of a scientific journal. This is also the case for AJ. Those who do peer reviews for AJ provide valuable service to both our authors and the journal. They serve our authors through the comments and suggestions the reviewers provide to authors for improving manuscripts and reviewers serve the journal by making recommendations to our editors if a manuscript should be published or not. Each year we publish a list of reviewers in one of the issues of AJ. We do this to thank our reviewers for their time and to recognize them in a small way for the important contribution they make to the journal, our profession, and our science. On behalf of the 2013 AJ Editorial Board, I extend my thanks to all those scientists who have completed reviews of manuscripts submitted during the past year. Many of the reviewers listed below reviewed more than one paper. The list is compiled from our electronic submission and review system. We make a concerted effort to accurately list the names and affiliations of all our peer reviewers. If we have made an error in listing your name or affiliation correctly, it was done without intention and we offer our sincere apology. Again, we thank all those who have conducted peer reviews of manuscripts for AJ. We hope you are willing to do more reviewing for us in the future. — Bill Raun, Editor
