Title: “Vegetable Conference to be held in St. Joseph”
University of Missouri Extension has announced plans for the Great Plains Vegetable Conference, which will be held January 10-12, in St. Joseph, Missouri.
The conference begins with two workshops on Thursday. The first explores the use of high tunnels in vegetable and fruit production. Participants may optionally choose a second workshop, which will give in-depth coverage of Community Supported Agriculture.
The main conference begins on Friday. There are four concurrent tracks to choose from. Topics include not only information on vegetables, but also small fruits and flowers. There are also presentations targeted toward organic growers.
There will be approximately 30 exhibitors available to provide information about seeds, irrigation, horticulture equipment, chemicals, and other topics. Meals, break refreshments, and handouts will be included in the $40 per day registration fee for the main conference on Friday and Saturday. For participants who wish to attend the high tunnel workshop on Thursday, the cost is $50, which also includes a meal. The cost for the CSA workshop on Thursday is $60, which includes a meal and workbook.
For more information about the program and a registration form, call the Buchanan County Extension office, 816-279-1691.
