Hypercompetition In Our Green Industry

Charlie Hall, Ellison Chair in International Floriculture at Texas A&M University, will lecture on the dynamics of hypercompetition in the green industry Friday, Oct. 31 at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC). Hall will address proactive strategies growers, service providers and retailers can use to compete profitably as consumer demand in the green industry matures.

Hall's presentation in Wooster, Ohio, will be followed by a luncheon and floriculture open house from 12-3 p.m. Michelle Jones, the new D.C. Kiplinger Chair in Floriculture at Ohio State University, will be introduced. Current and future floriculture research projects will also be discussed.

Those interested in attending can RSVP by Oct. 27 to Jones at jones.1968@osu.edu or (330) 263-3885.
