Texas Horticulture Opportunities Conference Day 1

The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will host the Texas Horticulture Opportunities conference on July 13 and 14 in San Marcos. The cost of the conference is $45 per person and online registration is available. A $5 discount will be offered for groups of two or more. As the population of Texas grows and spreads, opportunities for home and farm-based businesses in the field of horticulture expand. This conference provides an opportunity to study the unique opportunities and challenges in the business of growing plants. This conference is designed for new landowners desiring to identify one or more specialty horticulture crops to build a farm business with and for existing agricultural producers to diversify into new or alternative specialty crops. Texas Horticulture Opportunities in fruit and pecan production, vegetables, wineries, cut flowers, shade trees and agritourism will be covered in a dynamic, fast-paced educational program.
