AG EXPO SCHEDULED FOR NOV. 5

Following two successful years, the Florida Ag Expo has announced that this year’s event will take place Nov. 5, at the University of Florida/IFAS Gulf Coast Research & Education Center in Balm.

The Expo, which has drawn hundreds of industry professionals in past years, is designed for Florida vegetable, blueberry and strawberry growers looking to learn the latest production trends and techniques; receive updates on food safety and insect, weed and disease control strategies; sample new varieties and visit field trials. The event also features indoor and outdoor exhibits with industry suppliers ready to share the latest product and service innovations with growers.

The agenda for the 2009 Florida Ag Expo is available online at www.flgevents.com. Free registration is also available on the Web site.
For information on exhibit and sponsorship opportunities, contact Florida Grower magazine’s Marc Stockwell or Nancy Howard at (407) 539-6552.
