The 16th Annual Integrated Crop Management Conference (ICM) will be held December 1 and 2 at the Iowa State Center on the Iowa State University campus in Ames. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. on December 1 in Stephens Auditorium, and the conference concludes at 4:00 p.m. on December 2.

During the conference participants will hear of Iowa's expanding ethanol industry and the impact that will have on grain marketing and agronomics. Thirty-five different workshops featuring the latest crop production information from experts from around the Midwest will be offered. Attendees can choose from as many as seven topics each hour. This flexibility allows attendees to customize their conference experience to meet specific interests and CCA credit needs.

For Certified Crop Advisers, the ICM Conference is an excellent opportunity to obtain additional continuing education credits before year's end. CCAs can obtain up to 11 credits. The following credits have been approved as continuing education for Iowa Certified Commercial Pesticide Applicators in categories 1A, 1B, 1C, and 10.
