We'd Love More Grower Stories
One of the highlights of the weekend will be short grower-presentations.
Do you have a practical idea, innovation, lesson learned, challenge overcome or interesting project you'd be willing to share?
Presentations are approximately 10-15 minutes, are informal in style, and are intended to spark discussion rather than provide a formal lecture.
If you'd like to present, please let us know when you register.
