“Due to the COVID-19 advisory to cancel large gatherings, I have consulted with several people and decided to postpone the Ag Innovations Conference (scheduled for 18 March 2020) until there is a suitable time,” Dara said in an email. “I will be sending a separate note to those of you who have registered for the event.’
