We have finalized most of our 2020 production meeting details. This upcoming year Turner County cotton and peanut production meetings will be held together. In 2021, we look forward to holding individual meetings for both cotton and peanuts. However, since cotton and peanuts are the two largest crops in the county we are currently looking into alternative ways to make this meeting available to those who might not be able to attend the meeting in person such as live-streaming the meeting on Facebook Live and recording it for later viewing. More details about these options will be coming soon. Our current production meeting schedule can be seen below.
Meals will be provided at each meeting. If you plan to attend one of these meetings please call the Turner County Extension office at 229-567-3448 so we can plan the meal accordingly.
