U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue
Citrus Expo is proud to announce that U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue will be attending the first day of the show on Wednesday, August 16, with U.S. Representative Tom Rooney.
Perdue and Rooney are looking forward to walking the tradeshow floor and viewing the top-of-the-line products and services the Citrus Expo exhibitors have to offer. While on the trade show floor, Perdue and Rooney will have the opportunity to mingle with exhibitors and growers.
Citrus Expo will provide Perdue and Rooney with a firsthand look at the challenges faced by the U.S. citrus industry, as well as the growers and industry leaders working to rise above those challenges.
The 2017 Citrus Expo will be held August 16–17 at the Lee Civic Center in North Fort Myers, Florida. Registration is now open. All pre-registered growers will be eligible for a chance to win a John Deere gun safe, courtesy of Everglades Equipment Group.
As growers register, they are encouraged to participate in the 2017 bactericide survey. Take the survey here. Conducted by AgNet Media in cooperation with the Citrus Research and Development Foundation, the 2017 survey will build on knowledge gathered from the 2016 survey. Results of the survey will be presented during the Citrus Expo seminar program.
Complete details of the seminar schedule are available here. To learn more about Citrus Expo, or to register, visit CitrusExpo.net.
