Event offering four continuing education units for private pesticide applicators
The Panhandle Farm and Ranch Management Symposium hosted annually by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will take place virtually on Dec. 1 even though the Amarillo Farm and Ranch Show has been cancelled for this year.
The workshop fee is $60 and can be paid online, along with event registration. Participants will need the Zoom link to participate, so are asked to register prior to 8:30 a.m. Dec. 1.

The educational presentations will begin at 9 a.m. Topics and speakers will be:
