Cooperative Extension: New Farmers

This workshop will focus on a systematic approach to pest management in Christmas tree production systems. Participants will learn about weed management and there will be a discussion on control of smooth bedstraw at Gooley’s Farm. Participants will also learn about two significant Christmas tree insect pests and will hear of some current research being carried out by UMaine Extension to control these pests.  For more information and for pesticide credits, visit the Cooperative Extension in Somerset County’s event page.
