JACKSON, TENNESSEE
Happy New Year!! The University of Tennessee will host three in- person grain and soybean conferences during 2022 and preregistration is currently ongoing. These conferences are planned months in advance by county Extension agents and specialists and represent topics and information that will be helpful to producers during 2022. Each conference will provide certified applicator/commercial pesticide points, certified crop advisor (CCA) credits, and certification credits for the TN Master Row Crop Producer program. Note: producers need to enroll/register in the Master Row Crop producer’s program prior to the grain conference event by contacting their local county agent.
