2008 Pest Management Update Meetings
Chris Boerboom, Extension Weed Scientist
Although we are still hoping for many warm fall days, the 2008 season is soon coming to a close, which means that it’s time to start planning for 2009. To help with your planning process, we hope you will be able to attend one of our 2008 Pest Management Update Meetings. At these meetings, we will review challenges faced in 2008 and review new products and management options for 2009.
Check the meeting dates and locations and reserve a date on your calendar. Please pre-register with the host agent as they have to make the meal reservations. Most agents have had to add an additional “walk-in” fee for those who have not pre-registered. The registration fee is $30, which covers the program, meal, and information packet.
