Cotton producers, independent crop consultants and students who register for the 2023 Beltwide Cotton Conferences (BWCC) before December 14 can take advantage of reduced registration fees of $80. After that date, the rate will increase to $100.

The forum, set for January 10-12 at the New Orleans Marriott in New Orleans, La., will offer attendees timely updates on the latest research, technology and issues affecting U.S. cotton production and processing.

Those planning to attend are encouraged to register by clicking on the registration tab at the BWCC home page, www.cotton.org/beltwide/. The BWCC home page also includes links to more information about the forum, including housing reservations and an updated program.

The BWCC’s Cotton Consultants Conference will run from the afternoon of January 10 through the morning of January 11. Topics being considered include updates on ThryvOn™ cotton; herbicide resistance; the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol®; changes in weather patterns and the impact on crops; regulatory updates and pesticide impacts from the Endangered Species Act; new precision agriculture technologies; impacts of climate; retail inventory and supply chain status of fertilizer and chemistries; and Dicamba usage.

The BWCC, coordinated by the National Cotton Council, annually brings together university and USDA researchers, regulatory agencies, extension personnel/agents, consultants, and industry sales/support personnel to exchange information about new products and production/processing systems that can be tailored to individual farming operations for maximum efficiency.
