November 1 through 3, 2017 Embassy Suites Temecula, 29345 Rancho California Road, Temecula, California

This year's conference provides an opportunity to participate in several informative and enjoyable activities. Once again this year, ACP/HLB is back. Both are spreading in California, but there is hope, which we will hear about. Our banquet speaker will be Mike Roose telling us about interesting discoveries from his work surveying the genomes of numerous citrus varieties. The golf tournament is at Redhawk Golf Course in Temecula. The fun tour takes advantage of the ag heritage of Temecula Valley: wine and olive oil tasting with a vineyard tour and mini field day. The serious tour is a visit to UC Riverside and the USDA Repository. We have applied to Department of Pesticide Regulation for 3.5 hours of continuing education credit for the General Meeting.
