This in-person event, hosted by CCE Wayne County, will cover the fresh market potato variety trial and potato disease forecasting. The onion portion of the program will include 1) post-emergent weed control of big weeds in little onions; 2) Fresh research results of 2020 fungicide trial evaluation for Botrytis leaf blight; and; 3) Fresh research results of 2020 "hammer" insecticide onion thrips trial. 2.0 DEC recertification credits will be available for those who attend the full meeting.

The meeting will take place in the gravel lot outside the warehouse, and we will not be walking the field trials in order to make sure we are following Cornell guidelines on safe social distancing.

A well-thought out Wash/Pack Facility can go a long way in improving produce quality, worker health and safety, and overall efficiency. But how can intentional design impact food safety? This virtual training will help farmers and workers understand the food safety risks present in wash/pack facilities and outline ways in which risks can be minimized.
