The fruit and vegetable field day will provide an opportunity to evaluate several research projects focusing on high tunnel pepper and peach production, tomato grafting, integration of poultry and vegetable production, pest management in gourd crops, viticulture, growing hops and honey bee health and behavior studies. The functioning of equipment and tools (potato digger, vegetable wash station) will also be demonstrated. The overall objective is to highlight new and innovative production practices and techniques in fruit and vegetable production that could be utilized by commercial and local producers. Look forward seeing you at the Field Day.
