Plains Cotton Growers, Inc., will conduct its 52nd Annual Meeting on Friday, April 9, 2010. PCG's meeting will be held in the Banquet Hall of the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. The meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. with registration, and the program will start promptly at 9 a.m.
The primary focus of discussion at the meeting will be to provide PCG members an overview of the current political climate and potential impact it could have on the cotton industry through changes to agriculture and trade policy heading into the 2010 mid-term election cycle and the beginning of the 2012 Farm Bill development process.
One of the featured speakers at the meeting will be Washington D.C.-based agriculture correspondent Jim Wiesemeyer. This will mark his third appearance before the PCG membership, having previously addressed the organization in 2005 and 2007.
Current PCG president Barry Evans of Kress, Texas, will preside over the meeting and PCG executive vice president Steve Verett will report on the status of PCG operations and activities.
