The tour will offer a firsthand look at research and demonstration projects on many aspects of blueberry production. Experts in horticulture, plant pathology, entomology and weed control will be there to interact with growers. Stay as long as you like.
Please call ahead, though, let the organizers know you're planning to attend. Or let your county Extension Service agent know you plan to come.
