Detroit Grower Clinic- Videos & Presentations

What a great day!  We had 46 growers in attendance and all four speakers did a wonderful job.

As I promised, I video taped each presentations and uploaded them, so others not able to attend can watch.  Along with the videos to watch, I have posted their presentation slides too.  I think you will want to print them out to follow along with their talk.

Thank you for everyone participating, and I am already thinking about how to make next years clinic ever better.  From a great request, next year I will apply to MDA to try and have this event qualify for spray credits.  Any other ideas for topics or suggestions are appreciated.

Ball Field Days 2012- Save the Date

I showed this save the date at the Grower Clinic last week. I will be mailing this out this spring, but thought I would post this too.

The change for the year's trip is that instead of rushing through the Ball Field Day and arriving late back to Detroit on Friday, we will be staying downtown Chicago night.  That way we will have more time at the trials, and a nice night downtown.  I will be getting some supplier sponsorship for a fun dinner in the city, so the extra half day won't be any extra cost, besides the second room.
