From Jake Jacobs, UVM Crop Insurance Education Coordinator:

Producers who participate in crop insurance or other USDA-supported programs are required to file yearly acreage/production reports with FSA.

There are different deadlines for different commodities. For apples, the deadline is January 15. If any growers are not sure about filing this report, they should check with their insurance agent or their local FSA office.

Here is the announcement for the January Northern Grapes Webinar. Please forward to your mailing lists.

Best,

Alex Koeberle

The Northern Grapes Project Webinar Series

Dear Northern Grapes Project Webinar participants:

“Northern Grapes Survey Results: How the industry changed from 2011 to 2015”

Brigid Tuck Tim Martinson
University of Minnesota Cornell University

Tuesday, December 13th, 2016

12:00 Noon Eastern (11:00 am Central)

7:00 pm Eastern (6:00 pm Central)

Two industry surveys, conducted by the Northern Grapes Project in 2012 and 2016, tracked changes in acreage, wine production, and economic impact of cold-tolerant grapes across the Midwest and Northeast. Increases in acreage, production, and sales were recorded. Overall economic impact from Cold climate cultivars increased from $401 million in 2011 to $539 million in 2015. The number of industry-associated jobs increased from 12,600 to 18,700 in 2015. Viticultural and winemaking practices changed over the five-year project, reflecting impacts of Northern Grapes Project research and outreach.

Good morning,

Dr. Quan Zeng, CAES, has been working on Fireblight and strep resistance, and has presented information on-line for you. Many of you submitted samples for this work which helped a great deal. The following is from Quan.

Below you can find a link to the webinar presentation I produced with Plant Management Network regarding fire blight and streptomycin resistance. I summarized the survey we performed, that as of 2016, the New England region is free of streptomycin resistance. I also provided an overview of how the resistance happens, current updates, and some future management tools as alternatives to streptomycin.
