I received this notice from Evangeline Parish County Agent Keith Fontenot today. I would encourage you to attend the field day. It is always an educational program.
Below is the program for the Rice Research Station Field Day to be held on Thursday, June 30, at the Rice Research Station North Farm. An excellent tour has been set up highlighting the research being carried out at the station, on off station trials, and also in cooperation with other universities and researchers. After the tours are completed the Poster sessions, and problems desk will be set up under the equipment shed, and anyone with problem plants is encouraged to bring them out to the field day for a diagnosis. The speakers program will feature results of the activities of the Rice Research Board, a discussion on important issues coming up on the 2012 farm bill, Ducks Unlimited and some of the conservation work with wetlands, and remarks from Dr. Bill Richardson, Chancellor of the LSU AgCenter.
