Save the date: Indiana Hort Conference coming Jan. 14-15

DANVILLE, Ind. — The Indiana Horticultural Conference and Expo will take place Jan. 14-15 at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds in Danville.

Growers, crop consultants and others interested in attending can register online now through Jan. 7.

Options for either one- or two-day attendance is available. Food is included with admission.

Attendees can learn about fruit and vegetable production, food safety, controlled environment agriculture, high tunnel production and pest management, and business marketing. There will also be an apple cider contest and trade show.

At the trade show, guests can meet vendors of seed, fertilizer, plant protectants and irrigation systems, as well as nonprofit organizations that support soil health and food distribution.

“The historical core mission of this conference is to bring fruit and vegetable growers, researchers, extensionists and allied industry members from all different parts of the state together to learn in a spirit of fellowship and improve the lives and livelihoods of Hoosier farmers,” said Stephen Meyers, IHC co-chair and associate professor of weed science at Purdue University. “We look forward to this event every year, and 2025 is no exception.”

Credits will be available for private pesticide applicators, commercial pesticide applicators and certified crop advisers.

Certified private pesticide applicators can attend recertification sessions for an additional $10 on-site fee. Participants will need a private applicator license number to receive recertification credit.
