Hello to the List,
 
Just wanted to let you know about an upcoming conference in West Tn.  The dates are January 2-3, 2003.  We have not been to this conference before but have heard it is beneficial and the price is right for us!  We asked for further information and they also offer a "conference room" where you can sit down with speakers and or consultants and show them your business plans or discuss ideas with them for free.  Just thought that some might be interested in these alternative ideas in agriculture.  For more information you can visit their website at www.ideasinagriculture.com
