Cotton Consultants Conference - General Session
The Cotton Consultant Conference is a new addition to the Beltwide Cotton Conferences. It will be open to all who want to attend. However, the program will be designed to meet the needs of the crop consultant and provide CEUs. A general session will address three general topics; variety selection, insect management, and weed management. The second portion of the Consultant Conference is comprised of eight breakout sessions in which consultant and Extension speakers will discuss BMPs. The Extension Cotton Specialists will also demonstrate the eXtension website in this portion of the workshop.
