You are invited to attend the thirteenth

to RSVP by Friday, February 7 by

would like to sponsor the meeting, feel free to call.
There will be a $20 registration
fee per person for the meeting. We will also be collecting, 2020 NCCBRGA annual
membership dues. NCCBRGA membership dues are $50 per farm. These monies are
vital to the continued success of the association and its members. Your
membership dues allow us to have annual production meeting in addition to field
days. The monies also support various research and academic projects.
In addition, make sure to thank and
visit our numerous sponsors, which will be set up in the back of the
auditorium! I look forward to seeing each of you at the meeting.
