Thank you to everyone who attended the NCAE4-HA Winter Professional Meeting in Rocky Mount. We had great participation with 80 of the 100 professionals registered attending. We know you made the voyage through snow, wind, and Raleigh traffic and we really appreciate you coming out. We would also like to thank the Nash County Extension staff who went above and beyond to make our meeting run smoothly.
