LACA Annual Meeting Kicks Off February 10 In Marksville

The Louisiana Agricultural Technology & Management Conference sponsored by the Louisiana Agricultural Consultants Association will be held Wednesday 12:00 noon through noon Friday, February 12-14, 2025 at Paragon Casino Resort in Marksville, LA.

There will be a pre-conference workshop held on Wednesday morning from 9:00 – 11:30 a.m. in the Chiqui Ballroom. The pre-conference workshop will consists of New Regulations and Requirements for Commercial Applicator Recertification, in addition to Pesticide Safety and Labeling, and WPS.

In addition to the general sessions where presentations such as Endangered Species Act (ESA) Workplan and Implementation of the Strategies, and a Legislative Update from Governor Jeff Landry’s office will give attendees inside information that will help in decision making on their farms, there will be a general session dealing with multi-crop agronomics and again this year, a general session on soybean BMPs.

Crop specific breakout sessions on corn, cotton, rice, and sugarcane will again be held with industry updates scattered throughout. Over 30 of LACA’s sustaining members will be exhibiting, and the majority of these will be participating in emerging technology presentations during the conference.

Technical presentations during meals (breakfasts and luncheons) will be given by our sponsoring sustaining members, and in some cases special guests will be presenting.

Paragon restaurants, from casual to fine dining will be open for dinner during our stay.

This conference provides recertification of consultant and commercial applicator licenses. CCA CEUs are also available.
