Ethan Grundberg, Vegetable Specialist
Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture
Thanks to support from a Northeast Extension Risk Management Education (NERME) award, ENYCHP vegetable specialists were able to offer a free bilingual workshop series this winter focused on the fundamentals of pesticide safety and efficacy for beginning and organic farmers. For those of you who missed the live series, but would like to access the information that was shared from the guest presenters, all of the "Spray Safe, Spray Well" workshops are available on the ENYCHP YouTube channel.
