Georgia Cotton Commission 13th Annual Meeting and Cotton Production Workshop
The Georgia Cotton Commission is pleased to announce the guest speakers at the Commission’s 13th Annual Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 29, 2020, at the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center. The annual meeting is held in conjunction with the UGA Cotton Production Workshop conducted by the UGA Research & Extension Cotton Team.
The UGA Cotton Production Workshop will feature breakout sessions where attendees will learn the latest technical production strategies from the researchers whose projects are funded by the Commission’s research program. The Georgia Cotton Commission Annual Meeting will follow the breakout sessions and feature speakers from several industry organizations. The program speakers are Kent Fountain, Vice Chairman, National Cotton Council of America; Melissa Bastos, Director of Market Research, Cotton Incorporated; and Hank Reichle, President & CEO, Staplcotn. Following the Annual Meeting speakers, the Commission will host lunch where sponsors will be recognized, door prizes will be given away, and the Georgia Quality Cotton Awards for the 2019 crop will be awarded. I hope many of you have been contacted by your gin to participate in this award. The meeting, production workshop, and lunch are open to not only cotton growers, but anyone interested in the cotton industry. The UGA Cotton Production Workshop breakout sessions will be repeated after lunch. There is no charge to attend. Pre-registration is requested to help with meal plans.
