The theme of this year’s meeting is ‘In Cotton We Trust’ and we will be focusing on sustainability and co-products of cotton. We are partnering with the Arizona FFA, and our meeting guests, to collect used jeans for the Blue Jeans Go Green Campaign. Blue Jeans Go Green is a partnership between Phoenix Fibers and Cotton Incorporated. The program utilizes old jeans by making them into insulation used in Habitat for Humanity construction and other sustainability initiatives. We ask that you save any of your jeans from the donation bin and bring them to Flagstaff to help us reach our goal!

We will have a hosted reception and outdoor barbeque on Wednesday evening on the lawn, and in the spirit of continuing our theme, request that you wear your favorite denim outfit. Our Thursday meeting will begin at 8:00am. with continental breakfast available prior to speakers at 7:30am. Concluding our speakers on Thursday, we will have a hosted cocktail hour followed by dinner.  The Annual Golf Tournament benefiting our scholarship fund will begin Wednesday at 10:30am This year we must utilize tee times, which deviates from our typical shotgun start. Tee times are available on our website on a first come first serve basis -so please register ASAP to obtain your desired tee time!

The agriculture industry in general is ever changing, and it is important to keep the cotton community cohesive, informed and progressive. We hope to see you in June!
