Newly improved laser scarecrow kits will again be available for 2022 for those who wish to partner with our research. This workshop will feature a presentation by Rebecca Nelson Brown and David Brown of the University of Rhode Island about the laser scarecrow and what improvements have been made for 2022. Cornell Cooperative Extension Educators Chuck Bornt and Julie Kikkert will share their experiences testing the devices on New York farms. We will also open the floor to cooperating growers to share their tips for success on the farm.
