Announcing the 2025 Winter Seminar Series!
This series allows Extension folks from around the Northeast to plan educational sessions in response to the challenges you experienced in the 2024 growing season. The 2025 line up will feature timely topics like "Why Did My Scab Program Fail in 2024?!" and "Understanding Cold Hardiness Risks in Fruit Crops".
Sessions will be held (see specific dates below) from noon to 1:30. Pesticide credit(s) will be available for indicated sessions. Pre-registration is required. Please be advised, those seeking pesticide recertification credits must log in to the session individually so that we can show proof off attendance to the certifying agencies.
