2011 Illinois Crop Management Conferences

Present Current Agronomic Research Findings

The latest research information on critical crop production issues will be discussed at four University of Illinois Crop Management Conferences this winter. These two-day conferences are designed to address a wide array of topics pertinent to crop production, pest management, and natural resources issues and to provide a forum for discussion and interaction between participants and university researchers.

The format for each conference consists of thirteen different 50-minute sessions. Certified Crop Advisers can earn up to 13 hours of CEU credit. The registration fee is $130.00 per person due one week prior to each conference. Late registration or registration at the door will be $150.00 per person. The fee includes lunch, refreshments, and handout material for both days. There is no one-day registration. To obtain a conference brochure contact your local University of Illinois Extension Unit office. Individuals can also register on-line at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/edwardsvillecenter/
