20 - 10 August 2023 Season Finale!

This week we are joined by special guest Vaughn Gingerich, CCA; owner and consultant of Lake Ontario Ag Consulting. Our regular hosts include Monique Rivera, assistant professor of entomology at Cornell AgriTech; Kerik Cox, associate professor of plant pathology; and Anna Wallis, fruit IPM coordinator.

In our last episode of the 2023 season, Monique and Kerik sit down with Vaughn to review the season's greatest challenges and make recommendations for dealing with them. Anna brings us one last State of the State.

Thanks everyone who followed along this season. As always, we welcome your feedback. Stay tuned - we'll be back in spring 2024 with more episodes!
