MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Farmers and association executives from diverse regions across the nation will get a unique opportunity to observe cotton and other agricultural operations in West Texas on October 20-25, as part of the National Cotton Council’s (NCC) Multi-Commodity Education Program (MCEP).
Launched in 2006, the MCEP is coordinated by NCC’s Member Services, local leaders and organizations. The program is supported by The Cotton Foundation with a grant from John Deere.
The exchange is designed to offer participants: 1) a better understanding of production challenges faced by their peers in different geographic regions and 2) an opportunity to observe agronomic practices, technology utilization, cropping patterns, marketing strategies and operational structure. Additional benefits include fostering dialogue among American farmers, regardless of their crops or locations, and building strong and lasting relationships between this nation’s current and future producer leaders.
