The National Cotton Council (NCC) and its cooperating partners are starting the new year with the 2024 Beltwide Cotton Conferences getting underway today in Fort Worth, Texas.
Conferences coordinator Lauren Krogman says attendance is back to pre-COVID levels. “Right now our registration numbers are close to 800 so we are really happy to see everyone here,” said Krogman, who adds that people are welcome to register on site through Friday.
The Beltwide features a number of different conferences rolled into one for members of the cotton industry. “The goal of the Beltwide conferences is to help industry members, producers, and ginners make informed decisions aimed at improving productivity, sustainability, and profitability,” Krogman said. Three days of individual reports, panel discussions, hands on workshops and seminars are designed to provide attendees with information they need to help producers make key cotton production/marketing-related decisions.
