You are invited to attend the 58th Annual Meeting of the N.C. Tomato Growers Association and “Winter Vegetable Conference”
The conference program reflects growers’ needs covering many aspects of production, business management and marketing. We hope that you take advantage of this opportunity to learn about current issues associated with vegetables and take time to visit with the representatives from agricultural companies and other businesses that support our industry. The program committee has put together an excellent educational program, with associated pesticide credits, which covers the vegetables grown in this area.
The activities on Thursday, February 26th begin with registration and trade show opening at 8:30 am. Educational sessions will begin at 8:30 am. The conference will conclude with a sponsored banquet and awards luncheon.
This year we will be doing a 50/50 raffle for the benefit of our scholarship fund and we extend an invitation to you to participate in this raffle. NCTGA supports future generations of farmers with an endowment fund used to offer merit/need-based scholarships. Last year’s contributions allowed us to award one $3,000 scholarship to one deserving student in 2025. In addition, we will be holding a silent auction for the benefit of our scholarship fund and extend an invitation to you to play a part in our silent auction for 2026.
