Oklahoma State University Extension and Texas A&M University AgriLife Extension are again teaming up to present the annual Red River Crops Conference on Jan. 19-20.

As usual, the conference will focus on cotton the first day and in-season crops the second day. Cost is $25 per participant. This year’s conference will take place at the Jackson County Expo Center, located at 300 S. Todd Lane in Altus, Okla. Attendees are asked to pre-register to assist in the planning for refreshments, meals and conference materials.

“Profit-loss margins being what they are for most producers, use of the most up-to-date, research-based recommendations is vital to making sound management decisions; think of the conference as one-stop shopping to get needed information,” said Gary Strickland, OSU Extension Jackson County agricultural educator and regional agronomist for southwestern Oklahoma.

Private pesticide applicators who need continuing education units – many agricultural producers are included in this group – can potentially earn up to three Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry CEUs in the 1A and 10 categories. Seven Certified Crop Advisor CEUs also will be offered through the conference.
