Central Virginia Grower Meeting

Central Virginia Produce Auction, 18440 Anderson Highway, Dillwyn, VA
Several Amish communities have recently relocated to Central Virginia in the past several years and are in the beginning years of operating a produce auction. This grower meeting will include Christina Banks (VDACS), Darrel Clay (Timac Agro USA), and VCE Specialists, who will discuss the critical issues of marketing, soil fertility, major diseases and insect concerns regarding vegetables produced and sold at the auction. Dress warmly; the meeting will be in the produce auction, and expect an excellent Amish presence. Please register for this meeting, as lunch will be served.
Space is limited to 50 participants.
