Managers Tour†will be held on Wednesday, August 1 in Pinetown, NC.
This is the largest event of its kind in North Carolina, and we expect
more than 550 attendees this year. The event will include educational
presentations from North Carolina State University Extension and
Research faculty members on corn and soybean production and management.
The event also offers an excellent opportunity to interact with farmers
and agribusiness leaders from across the state.

physical location for the event will be the 3B Farms Shop located at
2200 Respess Road, Pinetown, NC. Registration begins at 7:00am with
opening remarks at 8:00am. The educational portion of the event will
conclude around 2:00pm, followed by an antique farm equipment “Plow
Dayâ€. A catered lunch will be served at noon, with Dr. Fred Below,
Professor of Plant Physiology at the University of Illinois as our
special guest.
