Dear Texas Grain Handlers, Producers, and Interested Persons:

We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to attend the 2022 Upper Gulf Coast Grain Handlers Conference, on Thursday, January 20, 2022 at the El Campo Civic Center in El Campo, Texas.  An informative and timely program has been planned to provide grain handlers with valuable information. Along the upper Gulf Coast, there are still reports of mixed success when treating stored grain insects. Additionally, worker safety and fall prevention continue to be extremely important as accidents still occur due to many factors. These topics will be addressed by expert speakers and scientists, four hands-on learning sessions, a panel of experts and local operators for Q&A, and of course a Laws and Regulations update.

Enclosed you will find a flyer and pre-registration form for the 2022 conference.  Pre-registration will be $25.00 per person and will be accepted through Friday, January 14, 2022.   Forms and payment may be sent to the Colorado County Extension Office at 316 Spring Street, Columbus, Texas 78934.  Registration at the door will be $30.00 per person. Make checks payable to Texas AgriLife Extension/GHC.

2022 GHC Pre-Registration Form

Five (5) Continuing Education Units will be offered (pending approval from Texas Department of Agriculture) for all licensed pesticide applicators that check in at the beginning of the conference and remain through the conclusion of the day.

We encourage you to post the enclosed flyer in a public place and invite any individuals that you think might be interested. We look forward to seeing you in El Campo for the 2022 Upper Gulf Coast Grain Handlers Conference.  If you have any questions or need more information please feel free to give us a call.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
