February 2, 2022, Broadleaf Weed identification for crop production 12-1 pm (virtual) Bryan Brown NYSIPM.
Many of our most problematic weeds are broadleaf weeds. The best way to control them varies depending on the species, so it is imperative that weeds are identified correctly. In this session we'll go over some of the key distinguishing characteristics of the most problematic broadleaf weeds in NY field crops. For each species, we'll discuss some of the biology that makes it weedy and look for potential "Achilles heals" that can be exploited for management. We'll also review best practices for using smartphone weed ID apps.

February 16, 2022, Grass Weed identification for crop production 12-1pm (virtual) Caroline Marschner, Ext. Assoc. Weed Ecology, Cornell
Identifying grass and grass-like weeds can be challenging but, is necessary for good weed management. During this program we will discuss what traits to look for when identifying grasses, go over some of the common crop grass weeds, and share some resources for grass weed management.

February 23, 2022, Weed management in corn 12-1pm (virtual) Jeff Miller, Resource Educator, CCE Oneida County.
Weed control is an integral part of corn production. Cultural and chemical control methods should be incorporated in an integrated approach to control weeds. Cultural practices like crop rotation, tillage, and cover crops will be discussed. Herbicide families (site of action) efficacy, timing of application will be discussed for annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, perennial grasses, perennial broad leaf weeds and herbicide resistant weeds.

March 2, 2022, Weed management in Soybeans 12-1pm (virtual) Mike Hunter, Regional field crop specialist, CCE North Country Regional Ag Team
Implementing integrated weed management practices in soybean production will be the focus of this presentation. Mike Hunter will share results from three years of on-farm soybean herbicides trials in New York State. He will provide the current status of herbicide resistant weeds in New York, and discuss effective herbicide resistant weed control strategies and how to manage resistant weeds on your farm.

March 9, 2022, Weed management in hay and pasture 12-1pm (virtual) Janice Degni, Team Leader and Field crops specialist, CCE SCNY regional team
Weed Control for Hay Crops and Pastures
This session will provide a review of cultural and chemical weed control practices for clear alfalfa or grass, mixed stands, and pasture. It will include practices that give the hay species a competitive edge over weeds and herbicide options for different weed scenarios. Common difficult to control weeds in pasture will be covered as well as improvement of older hay stands with weed invasions.

March 16, 2022, Alternative weed control and weed seed management 12-1pm (virtual) Lynn Sosnoskie, Asst. Prof. of weed ecology and specialty crop systems, Cornell
Weeds are a significant threat to crop production due to 1) competitive interactions that limit yield potential, 2) physical interference that reduces harvest efficiency, and 3) serving as an alternate host for pests and pathogens. The evolution of herbicide resistant weeds (in particular marestail/horseweed/Canada fleabane, Palmer amaranth, waterhemp) further complicates weed control efforts by limiting the utility of commonly applied chemical tools. This talk will focus on the current state of herbicide resistance in NY and the future of chemical weed control. Novel weed management strategies, such as harvest weed seed control (HWSC) and electrical weeding will be discussed and recent research updates provided. Best management practices for suppressing unwanted vegetation, including combine and equipment clean-out to limit seed spread, will also be presented.

ON FARM RESEARCH TRIALS 2025: Value of Manure & Power of Manure
Manure has all seventeen essential plant nutrients and can increase yield beyond what can be obtained with fertilizer only. In this project, Value of Manure, we evaluate the nitrogen fertilizer replacement value (how much N can we credit to manure?) and yield differences as a result of manure application.Farm Participants Needed for Bale Grazing Grant!
Information on the Project:- Approximately 10 acres total needed to bale graze two different bale densities
- "Core" farms will graze two winters, "Demo" farms will graze one winter.
- Payments for both "Core" farms and "Demo" farms
- Baseline soil sampling by bale grazing team
- Forage measurements in early season by bale grazing team
- Late season clipping if residual not trampled down by farm

2018 Drug Residue Prevention Manual
For more than 30 years, the U.S. dairy industry has focused educational efforts on the judicious use of antibiotics through the annual publication of a Best Practices Manual. The 2018 edition of the National Dairy FARM Program: Farmers Assuring Responsible Management? Milk and Dairy Beef Drug Residue Prevention Manual is the primary educational tool for dairy farm managers throughout the country on the judicious and responsible use of antibiotics, including avoidance of drug residues in milk and meat.The manual is a quick resource to review those antibiotics approved for dairy animals and can also be used as an educational tool and resource for farm managers as they develop on-farm best management practices necessary to avoid milk and meat residues. Visit the Manual and Form Library to download copies of this important tool!
