Resistant weed workshop in Tulare during Ag Expo (update)

Dec 19, 2016

A few weeks ago, we announced the California leg of a series of six national workshops to discuss herbicide resistant weeds. 

We're finalizing the list of invitees for the meeting in Tulare on February 15th.  This is during the World Ag Expo, and right across the street from the Expo grounds so it's a convenient two-fer for anyone interested in both events.  There are still a few participant slots left - here are three links if you're interested:

1. Original post about the series of workshops sponsored by the Weed Science Society of America:

2. An online form to register for the workshop to ensure balance among the view points, regions, and sectors representing the diversity of Southwestern weed management viewpoints.

3. A writeup by Pam Smith from from Progressive Farmer on the first of these WSSA workshops that was held in early December in Starkville, MS. That workshop was attended by nearly 300 participants.
