M-A-T-E Annual Conference
This was our second year at the Virginia Crossings Conference Center, located just north of Richmond. In addition to pesticide and fertilizer certification and recertification classes where persons obtained and renewed state mandated certifications, a series of speakers provided insights into Buffers and the Landscape. Those areas, primarily protecting Virginia’s waters are mandated by local, state, and federal regulations and provide great business opportunities for the industry.
