Cotton producers, independent crop consultants, and students who register for the 2023 Beltwide Cotton Conferences (BWCC) before Dec. 14 can take advantage of reduced registration fees of $80. After that date, the rate will increase to $100.

The forum, set for Jan. 10-12 at the New Orleans Marriott in New Orleans, LA, offers attendees timely updates on the latest research, technology, and issues affecting U.S. cotton production and processing.

Those planning to attend are encouraged to register online by clicking on the registration tab at the BWCC home page, which also includes links to more information about the forum, including housing reservations and an updated program.

The BWCC’s Cotton Consultants Conference begins the afternoon of Jan. 10 with multiple topics under consideration, including:

Updates on ThryvOn cotton
Herbicide resistance
The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol
Changes in weather patterns and the impact on crops
Regulatory updates and pesticide impacts from the Endangered Species Act
New precision agriculture technologies
Impacts of climate
Retail inventory and supply chain status of fertilizer and chemistries
Dicamba usage.

The BWCC, coordinated by the National Cotton Council, annually brings together university and USDA researchers, regulatory agencies, extension personnel/agents, consultants, and industry sales/support personnel to exchange information about new products and production/processing systems that can be tailored to individual farming operations for maximum efficiency.
