A review of precision thinning, the carbohydrate model, and region specific thinning strategies, along with pest and
disease management recommendations will be provided by Cornell University faculty. Hosted by CCE LOF and ENYCHP.

Valley beginning at 3pm, so please sign on by 3:30 to be sure to catch all the material that is relevant to our region.
