AMES, Iowa - The 16th Annual Integrated Crop Management Conference (ICM) will be held Dec. 1-2 at the Iowa State Center on the Iowa State University (ISU) Campus in Ames. Registration begins at 9 a.m. on Dec. 1 in Stephens Auditorium and the conference concludes at 4 p.m. on Dec. 2.
The ICM Conference has something to offer everyone involved in crop production and protection in Iowa and the surrounding states.
