Problematic Weeds of Southwest NY and Best Management Practices
   Palmer amaranth is one of the most problematic weed species in the United States. Its biology and ability to become resistant to multiple classes of herbicides make this weed very difficult to control. We will discuss biology, identification methods, closely related species, and management tools for this newly found weed species in Southwest New York. In addition, we will discuss research being conducted at Cornell University on weeds like marestail, Johnsongrass, and waterhemp.

January 20, 2021 from 11AM - 12PM

Problematic Diseases of Southwest NY and Best Management Practices
   This course will provide detailed information around integrated pest management and strategies for controlling these pests in corn and soybean production systems in SWNY; specifically disease control. Several of the surrounding states are noticing the new disease, Tar Spot of Corn, and it is making its way north. Here we will explore management options for ear rots, stalk rots, and new emerging diseases in NY.

January 21, 2021 from 11AM - 12PM

Problematic Insects of Southwest NY and Best Management Practices
   This course will provide detailed information around integrated pest management and strategies for controlling these pests in corn and soybean production systems in SWNY; specifically insect control.

We will learn about management options for this pest as well as other pests in the state.

2025 Cornell Food Beverage & Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey

December 19, 2025

Industry and Educational Advocates for New York State's Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturing industries:

As you know, NYS has a diverse food and beverage manufacturing industry, in both the types of industries that exist and the wide distribution of firms by scale. Many manufacturing firms have strong backward linkages to agricultural production sectors in the state that support both farm-level and downstream food industry firms and consumers. In collaboration with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, a team from Cornell University's Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management has recently rolled out the 2025 New York State Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey. The industry will benefit from an updated assessment of the industry that informs private and public investments and opportunities to support firm growth and improved profitability.
