It has been confirmed that CFPACS will have a booth at this event. Please stop by and enjoy the celebration after two years in operation. In years past, it was standard practice that CFPACS members get in free of charge if they wear their shirt. We can confirm and update this post, either way. Our West VP is the start of the show at 9:30AM for the fertilizer talk. If you're a member planning on hanging out for a while, bring a chair and hang out at our booth if your legs get tired.
