Are you in need of continuing education units or CEUs? December 18, 2024, Texas A&M AgriLife is offering a virtual meeting, “Crop production and risk protection,” at various locations throughout the Panhandle and South Plains, where producers can earn 7 CEUs: 1 L&R (laws and regulations), 2 IPM (integrated pest management), 1 drift and 3 general.
The virtual program will be hosted at a variety of locations within AgriLife districts 1 and 2. “This is to provide the same information to every county in one unique program and to ensure those that need CEUs can obtain the seven that were approved,” says Danny Nusser, Texas A&M AgriLife regional program leader, Amarillo.
He says the meeting is designed to provide timely topics and relative information about the region's crops and livestock.
