The next few months are prime time for winter meetings and events, and you should take advantage of it! Here are a few dates to mark on you calendar.
Southwest Agricultural Conference
The 19th annual SWAC will be held on Jan 4th and 5th 2012 in Ridgetown. You can choose to go one or both days. Eight 50 minute sessions are held each day and you choose the sessions you want to attend. Topics that caught my eye include "Fertilizer Hot Buttons", "Market Outlook 2012", "Wheat, The Next Big Step" and "Disease Dilemmas". Also, each day there is a Featured Speaker at 1pm. The speaker on Jan 4th is Dr. Patrick Moore who has gone from co-founding Green Peace to a more "sensible" environmental approach - should be interesting! The complete registration package can be found at:

Grower Pesticide Safety Course
If your Grower Pesticide Certification has expired, or you will be purchasing pesticides next season but are not certified, you will need to attend the Grower Pesticide Safety Course. A complete schedule of courses and locations offered is found at the link below:
