Collapse ▲The Tobacco Short Course has typically offered an intensive training that examines tobacco production, tobacco grading, and economic outlook. Up to 30 participants are allowed into this course. This three-day meeting is sponsored by the NC Tobacco Research Commission and the Tobacco Growers association of NC in cooperation with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at NC State University.
This year’s course will be held on January 30th, 2024 (beginning at 11:30 a.m.) through February 1st, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. Rooming and seminars will be at the Stateview Hotel, 2451 Alumni Drive, Raleigh, NC. Applications are now being accepted.
The production course will include current information on variety selection, seedling production, cultural practices on fertilization, weed management, sucker control, disease and insect management, mechanization, fuel conservation in curing, and economics of production. On Wednesday, January 31st, 2024, there will be an all-day session on Tobacco Grading conducted by Mr. Bobby Wellons, AMS, USDA.
Those selected to attend will be responsible for the costs of their transportation to and from Raleigh. The hotel room (shared with another participant), meals, and instruction costs will be paid from support of the NC Tobacco Research Commission and the Tobacco Growers Association of NC. If a participant requires a private room, he/she will pay one-half the room charge, which will be approximately $100 per night.
