Your Input Needed for the 2020 Ranchers Seminar

The San Benito County Weed Management Area (WMA) is planning the Continuing Education Seminar for Ranchers which is normally held at the Vets Hall in Hollister in early December.  Since health guidelines will likely not allow us to hold a large in-person meeting this year, our team is exploring an on-line option for this year's seminar.  In order to plan a meeting that will best meet the needs of area ranchers, we really need to hear from you!  If you are a San Benito, Monterey, Santa Cruz, or Santa Clara County rancher that has attended or planned to attend the annual Ranchers Seminar in Hollister, please take a couple of minutes to complete a short survey at this link.

OR, if you prefer to reply by email, please send your responses to the following questions to karminder.brown@gmail.com. (Responses will be kept confidential and used only to help the WMA plan the 2020 Ranchers Seminar):

1. Would you plan to attend an on-line (virtual) Ranchers Seminar tentatively scheduled for Thursday, December 3^rd?

YES   NO

2. If YES:

Would you join the webinar from a computer, tablet or smartphone?

OR

Would you join the webinar by dial-in phone with audio only? (This option might mean that you would be ineligible to earn continuing education credits from DPR).

3. If YES:

Would you still plan to attend if no DPR continuing education credits/hours were offered?

4. If YES:

Which specific weed or pest management topics would you like to have covered at the seminar?

5. If NO, why not?  (Choose all that apply).

My internet access is limited or unreliable
