2007 Pest Management Update Meetings

Chris Boerboom, Extension Weed Scientist

As we wrap up 2007, it’s time to start thinking and planning for 2008, which means that it is time to announce the 2007 Pest Management Update Meetings. Please check the meeting dates and locations and reserve a date on your calendar. Please pre-register with the host agent as they have to make the meal reservations. Most agents have had to add an additional “walk-in” fee for those who have not pre-registered. Also please note that we are increasing the registration fee to $30 (fee includes program, meal, and information packet). Unfortunately, after 12 years at the old price, we needed to increase the fee to cover the higher meal and meeting room expenses that we are being charged.

We will have many topics and issues to discuss as we review this year, especially with the changing and challenging pests and new traits and technologies. The speakers at the meetings will be Eileen Cullen, field crop entomologist, Mark Renz, weed scientist, Chris Boerboom, weed scientist, and Paul Esker, our new field crop plant pathologist. These meetings will be an excellent time to meet Paul and discuss plant disease problems that you are facing. We hope to see you this fall at the meetings and hope you have a safe harvest in the mean time.
