Tillage Event Sets Two-Night Program Topics
COLLEGE PARK, Md.—You
won’t have to drive far to partici
pate in this year’s 22nd annual
Mid-Atlantic Conservation Til
lage Conference.
Thanks to television satellite
technology, the conference is
being downlinked on Dec. 6 and
13 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at nearly
40 known locations in Pennsylva
nia, Maryland, and West Virginia.
Downlink sites also are a proba
bility in New Jersey, New York,
and Ohio.
In fact, anyplace in the United
States with a satellite dish capable
of picking up the KU band could
be a downlink site, noted Milt
Nelson, extension agricultural edi
tor for the University of Maryland
at College Park.
Nelson chaired the planning
committee for this year’s confer
ence, which has departed from a
21-year tradition of a single meet
ing site that rotated on an annual
basis between Maryland and
Pennsylvania.
Telephone and fax machine
hookups will permit live question
and-answer sessions following
each televised presentation. Penn
State University is the originating
uplink site. Part of the Dec. 13
program will feature a live feed
from Ohio State University.
