Dear Southern Growers, January 17th, 2020
Our winter meeting will be held Saturday February 15th, 2020 8:30 am to 6pm at the Marriot Hotel (Hearn Ballroom) in Winston Salem. There is no fee to attend. The ballroom and various aspects of the event will be paid for out of seed sale money. We have three featured speakers this year that will be exceptionally interesting to anyone who enjoys our hobby.
Dr. David Hardy NC State Professor of Soil Sciences will talk dirt to us. :)
Dr. Richard Hassell will talk to us about watermelon breeding, grafting and development of new disease resistant root stocks. Dr. Hassell is one of the developers of the new Carolina Strongback watermelon variety.
Dr. Katie Neufeld is a Syngenta expert on fungal diseases and fungicide use. She helped to develop the IPM pipe downy forecasting tool that is available through Syngenta.

If you are interested email me at: Letrfly@att.net and I will send the rest of the meeting details. Susie
