After last year’s virtual audible, the annual Middle Tennessee Grain Conference is back in-person on Tuesday, February 1st at the University of Tennessee Space Institute, located at 411 B.H. Goethert Pkwy in Tullahoma, TN. Building on 16 years of success, this exceptional conference offers farmers some of the most practical insights and real life solutions to emerging crop production issues to date.
Registration is $10 at the door with pre-registration also available for your convenience through your local UT-TSU Extension county offices. Registration fees cover the cost of program materials, refreshments, lunch, resource thumb drive, and a conference toboggan (one per person).
Once again, the Middle Tennessee Grain Conference will not only feature practical research-based education, but also one of the area’s largest trade shows with dozens of vendors on hand to showcase what’s new, efficient, and effective in our industry. The conference will begin at 8:30 a.m. with a welcome from a cast of statewide agricultural leaders followed by a slate of hand-picked informative speakers covering topics such as “Grass & Vine Control in Corn”, “Grain Storage Economics: Bins vs. Bags”, “Farm Transition Planning”, “Implementation of TN Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy”, and many more.
Lunch will be provided by “The View” Dining Hall and is again graciously sponsored by GreenPoint Ag. Following the scenic meal, our keynote speaker, Shannon Norwood, Precision Agriculture Manager with Tri-Green Equipment, will present on “Futuristic Farming Technologies”.
At adjournment, participants will need to turn in completed evaluations to receive their *new* conference toboggan and thumb drive loaded with pesticide manuals, budgets, and other valuable resources. Immediately following will be a recertification opportunity for producers planning to use Dicamba and Paraquat chemistry in 2022 (Gramoxone). Cost of this training is an additional $25 per person to be paid on-site at the time of training.
