See You in New Orleans
January 6, 2010 I hope you are making plans to attend the National Cotton Council’s 2010 Beltwide Cotton Conferences in New Orleans, LA, January 4-7. This conference always features new cotton technologies, informative workshops and presentations offering farming solutions.
I will give my annual general overview on Cotton Incorporated activities during Tuesday morning’s Production Conference General Session, but I urge you to think about obstacles you faced in 2009 and what information you need moving into 2010.
Cotton Incorporated funds a wide range of research across the Cotton Belt through both Core and State Support Program dollars that may help your operation.
Dr. Don Jones will be partnering to showcase USDA’s Cotton Germplasm Collection in our Ag Research booth during the Technical Exhibits. Dr. Jeanne Reeves will hold a Record Keeping Seminar to help growers manage risks and Dr.Ed Barnes is participating in irrigation and precision farming technology-related workshops.
I also encourage you to attend Cotton Incorporated Environmental Scientist Janet Reed’s workshop “Cotton & the Environment – What is Sustainability?” on January 5. Our weed scientist, Dr. Bob Nichols is organizing sessions on Fusarium, Diagnosing Boll Damage and Host Plant Resistance. Please check the final Beltwide schedule and I’ll see you in New Orleans.
