3rd Annual WNY Fruit Conference

We are looking forward to bringing you another multi-day tree fruit conference this winter! Again, this replaces our traditional “LOF Fruit Schools” and our participation in the Empire Producers Expo in Syracuse. The program will run all day on Tuesday (Feb 4) and Wednesday morning (Feb 5). There will be two Pest Management sessions Tuesday morning, followed by two horticulture focused afternoon sessions. Wednesday will have 2 morning sessions ending with lunch at noon. Pest management topics will include the usual herbicide, insecticide and fungicide efficacy and timing research results, as well as an emphasis on adapting your management program to incorporate biopesticides and other new techniques. Other sessions planned are horticulture, including precision ag updates, business, including several grower talks, and marketing updates, including from Cynthia Haskins at NYAA. We encourage folks to stay overnight. Dinner will be on your own, there are plenty of options close by.  In addition, the meeting is in the Henrietta area, so parking is free, the area is safe, and it is easy to get around.

DEC credits will be available.
