If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Looks like a really decent event!
The upcoming 2 day gig in Ohio would also be a cool event!

Cecil,
Looks like an excellent conference, I would be especially interested in the Brown's shrimp presentation. Too bad I'm heading to Kalifornia for work this week and won't be back until late Friday night.

Bryan The shrimp is the way to go in my opinion if you aren't particular on the species you want to raise and you want the quickest return on your investment. And they use the Intex pools indoors that are a lot more economical than other tanks. Another plus with the shrimp is zero discharge! And they sell them live bagged in ice at the facilities so don't have to deal with HAACP.  The Browns will be talking about requirements for buildings and not specifically on shrimp culture although I'm sure it will come up. However there will be a conference specifically on shrimp in March in Indy if you're interested.
