GPGA would like to apologize for one mistake in the hard copies of the registration forms: The Beginners Pecan Production Course pricing currently listed in the hard copy forms is incorrect. The correct registration fee for this course will be $50 per person. This registration fee will include the full-day training course, the Southeastern Pecan Growers Handbook (retail value of $30.00), and lunch on Tues., March 28.

For registration information and updates to the sessions and speakers, stay tuned through GPGA’s social media channels, email newsletter, and website www.georgiapecan.org.
