CITRUS EXPO SEEKS GROWER INPUT

The 17th Annual Citrus Expo’s steering committee is seeking grower input as its members begin the process of building another seminar program to address the needs of the grower community. The event is scheduled for August 20-21 at Lee Civic Center Ft. Myers

“This fall will be a critical time for citrus growers to take stock of where research programs are and where they are headed,” says Dr. Harold Browning, Director of University of Florida’s Citrus Research and Education Center at Lake Alfred and a member of the Citrus Expo Steering Committee. “We expect to have some progress reports available on a number of projects, and Citrus Expo provides excellent timing for growers, researchers and industry to gather before the harvest season gets underway,” he adds.

Citrus Expo is organized and operated by Citrus Industry magazine and Southeast AgNet Radio Network. Updates on sponsorships, area lodging, exhibitors and attendee pre-registration will be available soon at www.CitrusExpo.net."
