Alabama Crop Management Association
FROM THE DIRECTOR’S CHAIR
Greetings to all from your Director. We have completed another year and have moved into 2018.
Our ACMA Winter Meeting in Auburn was a new experience for us this time. We joined forces with Dr. Brenda Ortiz and her Row Crop Short Course hoping to attract more attendees and to offer a wider variety of information. The Row Crop Course was expanded to include cotton, peanuts and soybeans and experts from all over were there to share with all interested attendees. With Dr. John Beasley’s help, we added some CEU’s before and after the Short Course to try to give CCA’s the needed hours to complete their cycle in December.
We had some anxious moments, but I believe it all worked out in the end and was successful for all who attended. We’ll have more time before next December to tweak the program and make it better for all. I express my gratitude to Dr. Beasley and his staff for their hard work and effort to make the program a success.
Thanks to all of you that came and participated this year. I hope more of you will come next year.
Our ACMA Summer Meeting is scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 22, 23 and 24, 2018. We will be at the Perdido Beach Resort in Orange Beach, AL. Need to register at Hotel as soon as possible with booking I.D. #15034 and phone number is 800-634-8001. ACMA Registration forms will be sent soon.
We look forward to seeing you at the ACMA Summer Meeting.
Thanks for all you do for Alabama Agriculture!
Joe Bryan
