We have funding to analyze weed seedbanks of 50 farms in this region. As a participant, you would get:

• a weed seedbank density and composition analysis of one field at your farm
• photos of identifying characteristics of each species
• a tailored weed management plan that addresses your seedbank based on your current equipment and crop selection
• a bar graph depicting the seedbank density of your farm compared to the other anonymous participating farms
• soil nutrient test results from the sample we collect
• a one-time participation payment of $550

We would need to collect a half-gallon soil sample in 2023; some info about your crop/weed management; an hour of your time in 2025 to discuss the results; and 5 minutes for a phone evaluation.

Indicate your interest in participating as soon as possible by emailing Bryan Brown at bjb342@cornell.edu or leaving a message at 315-787-2432. We're hoping to select a wide range of farms and locations, so please tell us a bit about your farm. We'll select participants by July 1. There will be a couple forms to fill out, but we'll try to make it as easy as possible for you.
