For the past 24 years, the non-profit professional Texas Plant Protection Association (TPPA) has sponsored educational conferences for all involved in production agriculture. These conferences include the Annual Texas Plant Protection Conference. These events continue to be successful due to the broad support of many leaders in Texas agriculture that represent academia, extension, research, consulting, agribusiness, farmers and regulatory.

The 2012 Texas Plant Protection Conference will be on December 6 & 7 at the Brazos Center in the Bryan – College Station area. Additional information is available on the TPPA website:  http://tppa.tamu.edu
