For those of you who might have missed it, the presentations of last week's UCCE - CalPoly Strawberry Center are posted here. Just speaking for the Watsonville event, we had a seriously large SRO crowd that read like a who's who of the industry with lots of enthusiasm with plenty of participation.
Just a side note here, but a good number of people commented to me later on that they really got something out of this single topic format. I hear you loud and clear, and going forward to will look to do more of these.
