2013 NYS Dry Bean Growers Meeting - Sponsorship Opportunities

March 13, 2013

2013 NYS Dry Bean Growers Meeting
Join us for the important dry bean updates for 2013! 2 DEC credits, plus CCA credits, will be available. (For DEC credit sign the roster by 9:35 am.) Lunch will include delicious, healthy NYS dry beans. Pre-register by March 11 to save $5!

The featured speaker at the NYS Dry Bean Meeting is Amie Hamlin, Executive Director, New York Coalition for Healthy School Food. Dry beans are a highly rated food in the NYCHSF program, and has reached thousands of students in Ithaca and New York City schools with bean dishes in lunches, and brief, catchy messages on eating beans during announcements. 

Cornell staff will give complete reports on the progress made in dry bean breeding and varietal/breeding line evaluation for yield, early maturity, quality, processing and white mold resistance. 

The results of continued research on weed control programs for zone till vs conventional dry beans will be reported, as well as how potential new herbicides for beans performed. While the new insect threat, Western bean cutworm, didn't cause damage in dry beans in 2012 the population of migrant and over-wintering moths did increase significantly compared to 2011, based on traps located in the dry bean production region and across NYS. High risk areas of the state were identified and will be reported. 

There is a wide choice of cover crops today, grasses, legumes, crucifers, and others. Some are beneficial when grown before beans and others may increase root rot. Results of four years of trials will be reported. In addition, the benefits of combining different cover crops have been identified. Some of the choices will be described and how they can benefit your soil health and crops in general. Finally, news from a recent meeting of the US Dry Bean Council will be reported.

Cost, includes a lunch containing delicious and healthy NYS dry beans:
$20 per Cornell Vegetable Program enrollee*
$30 per non-enrollee*

* Pre-register by March 11 to save $5. Registration at the door will be $25/enrollee and $35/non-enrollee.

Announcements

Winter Cover Cropping in High Tunnels

Cornell Cooperative Extension is researching cover crops for high tunnel growers to better manage fertility and improve soil health. Our work has shown that winter cover cropping in high tunnels has the potential to add organic matter, improve soil structure, support microbial activity, and help with nutrient management by scavenging leftover nitrogen and/or fixing nitrogen. This publication, Management Practices for High Organic Matter Soils: Winter Cover Cropping in High Tunnels, shares best practices for winter cover cropping in high tunnels including species selection, planting rates and dates, termination, and cultural management considerations.

Laser Scarecrows to Deter Birds in Sweet Corn

Are you considering the use of a laser scarecrow to deter birds on your farm? Cornell Cooperative Extension and the University of Rhode Island teamed up to test a research laser scarecrow on sweet corn farms.

A laser scarecrow is a device that has one or more laser modules connected to motors. The specifications of the lasers are optimized to the color and motion sensitivity of bird's eyes. When laser beams move across a field, birds become frightened and attempt to move away from the perceived threat. Light from the laser covers an area quickly and moves through the canopy without causing injury to the crop. Research demonstrates that birds do not readily become habituated to the laser.

A laser scarecrow used as the sole deterrent typically results in a significant reduction in crop damage. Combined with an auditory device, damage can be reduced even more. When used as part of an integrated management program for bird control that utilizes habitat management and multiple scare tactics, laser scarecrows can be useful tools for growers of multiple crops. All scare tactics must be deployed before birds find the field. The effectiveness of lasers depends on multiple factors such as bird species, bird populations, habitat and food availability. Lasers are not effective at deterring deer, racoons, coyotes or other mammals.

To learn more, the Laser Scarecrows to Deter Birds in Sweet Corn and Other High-Value Agricultural Crops fact sheet provides background information, research data, FAQs, and Advantages/Limitations on laser scarecrows.

NY Urban Farms Pest Management Fact Sheet Series

Cornell Cooperative Extension has partnered with dozens of urban farms across New York State to demonstrate and evaluate sustainable pest management strategies. Together with farmers, we found success using control methods that prevent or reduce crop losses through exclusion strategies, crop timing, host resistance, the introduction of beneficial organisms, and more. Regardless of management strategy used, common requirements for success include a knowledge of the pest and disease complex, preventative deployment and commitment to the process. The New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series includes case studies highlighting pest management techniques that New York urban farms have found valuable.

NYS Urban Growers Pest Management Needs Assessment

As part of a multi-year project exploring non-spray pest management options that are economically and environmentally sustainable for urban farms, we conducted a needs assessment with urban growers across New York State. The New York State Urban Growers Pest Management Needs Assessment presents findings on current pest management practices, challenges, and topics of future interest.
