New hydroponic crop production intensive courses at CEAC

The 2017 Greenhouse Hydroponic Tomato and Lettuce Intensive Courses will be offered again in January. You can attend just the Tomato specific course from January 2 – 7, just the lettuce specific course from January 6 – 9, or attend both courses from January 2 – 9. The tomato intensive instructor will be our newly appointed hydroponic specialist Dr. Stacy Tollefson, while the lettuce intensive will be taught by lettuce/business expert Myles Lewis, MS.

The courses will combine classroom time with time in the greenhouse in order to put the lessons learned by lecture into real world practice.
