The annual meeting of multistate committee NCR-167 was held at the University of Wisconsin Memorial Union, Madison, WI on February 17, 2003. The meeting site and date were determined at the 2002 annual business meeting. Zeno Wicks, III, Chair of NCR-167 planned and coordinated the 2003 annual meeting of NCR-167. James G. Coors took care of the local arrangements for NCR-167.
Dr. Wicks called the meeting to order at 5:30PM, which was followed by each person attending introducing themselves.
The agenda was reviewed:

Adjournment
Dr. Lee moved we approve the agenda and Dr. Coors seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously.
The minutes from the 2002 meeting were unanimously approved.
Dr. Lamkey gave the treasurers report. The NCR-167 committee did not incur any costs for the 2002 annual meeting. The balance at the end of 2002 was $1,132.41.
Dr. Gary Heichel, NCR-167 administrative advisor, gave the administrative advisor‘s report. One of our greatest strengths was our annual corn breeding workshop held in conjunction with the annual meetings. The function of our group is to create synergism that will allow us to do things together that we cannot do apart. Our mid-term review is due early January 2004. Our current charter expires September 30, 2006. If we wish to renew, the renewal should be prepared by December 2005 and be ready for discussion at the 2006 annual meeting. The minutes this year will be submitted electronically.
Dr. Willmot gave the meeting place committee report. The 2004 meeting will be an interregional meeting with NEC-29 - Northern Corn Improvement Conference, NCR-25 - Diseases of Corn and Sorghum, and NCR-204 - The Interface of Molecular and Quantitative Genetics in Plant and Animal Breeding. The meetings will be on February 9, 10, and 11th (til noon) 2004 (Monday-Wed.) at the Sheraton Westport Hotel Lakeside Chalet in St. Louis, Missouri.
The nominating committee report was made by Dr. Wicks. Dr. Wicks moved that the 2006 chair be Dr. Martin Bohn. The 2004 meetings will then be chaired by Dr. Willmot and will be held in St. Louis, the 2005 meetings will be chaired by Dr. Russell and tentatively hosted by Dr. Bernardo at the University of Minnesota; the 2006 meetings will be chaired by Dr. Bohn and tentatively hosted by Dr. Lee at the University of Guelph. There were no changes to the sub-committees.
The germplasm committee report was given by Dr. Coors. The full report can be found on the NCR-167 web site (http://www.agron.iastate.edu/corn/NCR167/Station/Default.html) .
Dr. Lee presented the report on the Uniform 100-300 maturity trials for 2002. The full report can be found on the NCR-167 web site (http://www.agron.iastate.edu/corn/NCR167/Station/Default.html ).
