Illinois-Iowa Fruit & Vegetable Symposium

On December 11 the Fruit and Vegetable Growers Symposium offered by
University of Illinois Extension and Iowa State University Extension
will be held at the Scott County Extension Office in Bettendorf, IA.
This annual event is geared towards commercial growers.  General
sessions for both fruit and vegetable growers will be "Direct Marketing
Ideas to Improve Produce Sales"  and "Cropping Profits - High Tunnel
Production Considerations", followed with breakout sessions specific to
each grower group.   

 

This year the vegetable focus is on tomato production.  Topics will be
"Fitting Heirlooms into your Tomato Enterprise", "Tomato Production -
Varieties and Quality" and "Insect Management Updates with a Focus on
Tomatoes and Peppers".  The fruit focus will cover "Realities of the
Potential for Grape Production in the Upper Midwest, "Potential for
Aronia as a New Crop" and "Insect Management Updates with a Focus on
Insects and Insecticides".  Specialists and experts from both campuses
will present these timely topics and be on hand to answer questions.
