Meredith To Deliver Special Report

Meredith To Deliver Special Report
     

Two milestones will occur at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences in January, and it's hard to know which is more important. The industry will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Cotton Variety Testing (NCVT) program when veteran cotton research geneticist Bill Meredith delivers a special update on the history of the program.

Meredith is certainly the appropriate person to make the presentation because he has been involved in the program for more than 40 years. Many of Meredith's colleagues say it will be the rare opportunity to give attention to the NCVT – but also salute the veteran USDA-ARS cotton breeder for his four decades of service to the industry.

Meredith is the senior author of the report, but two other noted cotton breeders – Fred Bourland of Keiser, Ark., and retired Texas breeder John Gannaway – are co-authors.
