High Plains Ag Conference set for Dec. 2

Oct 28, 2009 12:01 PM, By Steve Byrns, Texas A&M University

Plans are being finalized for the Texas AgriLife Extension Service’s High Plains Ag Conference set for 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Dec. 2 at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Lubbock. The center is located at 1102 E. Farm-to-Market 1294.

“It’s still a bit early, but we want folks to have plenty of time to plan to attend this key event,” said Robert Scott, AgriLife Extension agent in Lubbock County. “We’re finalizing the program now, but we already have a top slate of speakers booked. Participants will also be able to earn five Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education units for the day. We know things get busy during the holidays. That’s why we wanted to get the word out early.”

Individual pre-registration received by Nov. 30 is $35 and includes lunch. Late registration is $45 with no lunch guarantee.

For more information and to pre-register, contact Scott at 806-775-1680, or r-scott@ag.tamu.edu.
