Mark your calendars! The 19th annual Middle Tennessee Grain Conference is set for Tuesday, February 4th, from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) in Tullahoma, TN.
For nearly 20 years, this conference has provided valuable insights and practical solutions for crop production challenges. Our Extension team, including local County Extension Agents and top-tier Extension Specialists, works year-round to deliver unbiased, research-based information at this event. Continuing the tradition, the MTNGC will feature one of the region’s largest trade shows, with almost 50 vendors and industry professionals showcasing both new innovations and reliable solutions.
Pre-registration cost is only $10 per person thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and the participation of our tradeshow vendors. These fees help offset the cost of program materials, equipment, signage, take-home resources, and conference hats (one per person). Doors open at 7:30am for networking and access to the trade show. Opening remarks start at 8:30am in the auditorium with updates from our partners at the TN Corn & TN Soybean Promotion Councils along with the announcement of Top Soybean Yield Contest Winners. The remaining sessions will all be held in the Auditorium covering topics on Weed Mgmt. & Dicamba Updates, Weather Forecasting, Grain Marketing & Risk Mgmt., and a talk from the Soybean World Record Holder (218 bu/acre). This year’s conference is made possible by several industry partners; of special note, the Tennessee Corn Promotion Council, Tennessee Soybean Promotion Council, GreenPoint Ag., Woodall Grain, Koch, and Farm Credit. The keynote speaker, Alex Harrell (Soybean Yield World Record Holder) is sponsored by Brandt. At adjournment, participants will turn in completed evaluations at the information booth to receive a conference hat and other take-home resources.
