See the latest in modern farming technology during "AgTech '96" June 21-22 at UC Davis. "This is an ideal opportunity for farmers, equipment dealers, agricultural consultants and people who are simply intrigued with agriculture to come out and take a look at how farming can be done as we head into a new millennium," says Ron Voss, director of the UC Davis Vegetable Research and Information Center. "We'll be showcasing technologies that will help farmers fine-tune their productivity as well as their stewardship of natural resources." Demonstrations, to be held on a 20-acre experimental field, focus on a variety of new technologies including robotic thinning and cultivating, precision planting and spraying, micro-irrigation, and satellite-monitoring systems. Demonstrations of computer-based technologies and biotechnology will be offered in nearby classrooms. UC Davis researchers, Cooperative Extension specialists and private industry representatives will be on hand to explain the various technologies. Some are available commercially, while others have just come out of university laboratories. Identical programs will be offered from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day east of Highway 113 near Hutchison Drive. The event will focus on vegetable crops this year. Those attending can earn up to nine hours of Pest Control Advisor credits or 24 Crop Consultant Advisor credits.
