Listening sessions planned on boll weevil eradication

Sep 5, 2001 12:00 PM

All cotton growers, members of grower groups and associations are being invited to attend listening sessions that will provide research results on the boll weevil eradication program's impact on actual production history.

The sessions will be held in three different states beginning Sept. 10.

The first session, on Sept. 10, will be held in Greenwood, Miss., at the Leflore County Civic Center. For additional information contact Gay Smith at 662-453-4065.

On Sept. 11, the second session will be held in Montgomery, Ala., at the Richard Beard Building, Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industry. Contact Buddy Adamson at 334-613-4216 for additional information.
