By Terence Bradshaw<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been taking notes during today\u2019s VTFGA \/ UVM Apple Program annual meeting. This is useful even if you didn\u2019t make the meeting on Feb 13. Here goes:<\/p>\n

1. Slides from the talks will be available at: http:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/~fruit\/?Page=treefruit\/tf_meetings.html&SM=tf_submenu.html<\/a>
\nThey should be up there shortly.<\/p>\n

2. Please consider taking our pretty short survey<\/a> on cider apple production. Even if you don\u2019t grow cider apples, knowing that is helpful to develop baseline data for the New England Cider Apple Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. The Vermont Agriculture Food System Plan: 2020 is available at: https:\/\/agriculture.vermont.gov\/document\/vermont-agriculture-and-food-system-plan-2020<\/a>
\nVermont Secretary of Agriculture Anson Tebbetts discusses the report here: https:\/\/agriculture.vermont.gov\/agency-agriculture-food-markets-news\/secretary-tebbetts-op-ed-setting-table-vermont-what-would-you<\/a>
\nThis report was generated by agriculture professional and stakeholders and vetted by industry participants. So, the apple chapter was written by me and coauthored by the Vermont Tree Fruit Growers Association board of directors.<\/p>\n

4. Dr. Anna Wallingford from UNH referenced the Xerces<\/a> society in her talk on Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management. She also referenced A Pesticide Decision-making Guide to Protect Pollinators in Tree Fruit Orchards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where trade names or commercial products are used for identification,<\/p>\n

no discrimination is intended and no endorsement is implied.<\/p>\n

Always read the label before using any pesticide.<\/p>\n

The label is the legal document for the product use.<\/p>\n

Disregard any information in this message if it is in conflict with the<\/p>\n

label.<\/p>\n

The UVM Tree Fruit and Viticulture Program is supported by the<\/p>\n

University of Vermont Agriculture Experiment Station, a USDA NIFA E-IPM<\/p>\n

Grant, and USDA Risk Management Agency Funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
