KERRVILLE, Texas — We are excited to offer you the opportunity to attend a TX A&M AgriLife Research and US Forest Service Conference (May 12; YO Conference Center, Kerrville). An excellent group of speakers is lined up to help you think “outside the box.” Speakers will share their expertise and personal experiences and discuss overlooked opportunities, which can significantly enhance your bottom line, while at the same time, enhance Texas rangelands.

Did you know that there is only 1 feed ingredient in existence (after approved by FDA), which: (1) requires no inputs (cultivation, seed, fertilizer, water, pesticides, or herbicides) by man to grow; (2) can grow 365 days a year; (3) is not subject to seasonal price fluctuation; (4) when harvested, can synergistically enhance natural resources and increase surface water, forage production, and land value; and (5) can reduce wildfires and allergens? You’ll hear about this ingredient during the conference.

We are confident that the day will be well worth your time and hope that you can join us for education and fellowship. A great lunch buffet is included and during the lunch hour, you’ll get to hear from our very own, TX Agriculture Commissioner, Mr. Sid Miller.

Must register by May 5 ($15/person; checks only) to ensure you get a seat! For more information and to register: http://sanangelo.tamu.edu/sss-conf.

3 CEU’s offered for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

Email with questions (trwhitney@ag.tamu.edu) or call 325-653-4576 ext. 245
