Pick-Your-Own And COVID - A Conversation For Growers
Pick-Your-Own And COVID - A Conversation For Growers
Wednesday, April 14th, 2021
07:00 PM - 08:00 PM
Other http://bit.ly/PickYourOwn-COVID
Last year we held a virtual discussion on how to deal with Pick-your-own in the age of COVID. This year we will revisit this topic with several growers sharing what they did that worked, maybe didn’t work as well as expected or at all, will keep this year, or will drop because may not need it. With vaccines and an ever changing landscape it may be a moving target. It is safe to say we all liked the masks because it resulted in less eating in the field. Keeping the requirement? Let’s chat and get prepared as an industry for the upcoming season. Join UConn Extension and growers including Jaime Jones, Jones Family Farms, Shelton CT; Russell Holmberg, Holmberg Orchards, Gales Ferry CT; Michaele Williams, Bishops Orchards, Guilford CT; Don Preli, Belltown Hill Orchards, South Glastonbury CT; Andre Tougas, Tougas Family Farm, Northborough MA; and Trevor Hardy, Brookdale Orchards, Hollis NH.

New Frontiers: Exploring Beef x Dairy Crossbreeding
New Frontiers: Exploring Beef x Dairy Crossbreeding
Thursday, April 15th, 2021
01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Other Virtual via Webes
With volatility in fluid milk prices and increased availability of sexed semen, many dairy producers are able to satisfy their need for replacement heifers with fewer purebred matings. Crossbreeding lower-performing dairy cows to beef bulls offers an opportunity for dairy producers to diversify markets and increase revenue. However, much has yet to be learned about genetic selection of beef bulls for crossbreeding, feeding protocols for crossbred calves, and other management strategies that ensure a high-quality, profitable meat product. UConn Extension Livestock Specialist Joe Emenheiser will present general information on beef x dairy crossbreeding and provide insight to research that is developing at UConn and with our regional partners. -
