HERKIMER CO., N.Y. — Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Central NY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Team (CNYDLFC) is hosting their annual Corn Day event on February 16th from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, virtually, via Zoom. Two NYSDEC pesticide applicator credits can be earned (cat. 1a, 21, or 23; 0.5 credits for cat. 4). For information and registration, go to https://bit.ly/cornday2022.
Cornell University researchers and extension staff will discuss corn silage varieties, insect pest management, weed management for herbicide-resistant weeds, and how to identify and manage emerging corn diseases. We will also discuss how to make the most of your fertilizer dollars and how Cornell researchers plan to help farmers make sense of their own experimentation. The program will begin with University of Minnesota Extension Educator Jodi DeJong-Hughes discussing the causes, effects, and best management strategies for soil compaction.
