Jan. 3, 2013, Tucson, AZ — The January Tomato and Lettuce Intensive Short Courses (Jan. 2 – 9) of the University of Arizona/Controlled Environment Agriculture Center have been successfully filled to capacity, and are now in progress!

That’s good news for the program, but not so for those with interest and need, but who could not attend.
 
UA/CEAC has created this Special Free Opportunity, and invite growers to view selected presentations on Jan. 7.
