POST CONFERENCE NEWS: It was a cold , wet , blustery day - perfect for spending indoors! Over 375 People attended and the day flew by as we laughed and learned. Our 3 MG Speakers: Mike N, Cathy C. and Tony P. rounded out the lectures nicely at the end of the day with their short sessions on 2016 Updates, Why MGs DON't use Bonemeal and Irrigation 101. Thank you to everyone who came out!
