February 23rd
Planning for Fertilizer Efficiency to Maximize Savings
Dr. Kitty O'Neil, Field Crops Specialist, CCE NCRAT
Plan ahead and plan thoroughly to minimize fertilizer costs in 2023. We're all familiar with the 4R approach to maximizing fertilizer and nutrient efficiency, but we'll talk about the small details in its implementation, throughout the whole cropping system, to ensure accuracy and to minimize the need for purchased nutrients.

March 2nd The Value of Manure Told Through Five Stories
Dr. Quirine Ketterings, Cornell Nutrient Management Spear Program, & Kirsten Workman, Nutrient Management Specialist, PRODAIRY
This presentation will share research results that answer the following questions:
What is the fertilizer replacement value of manure?, How does injection of manure in alfalfa impact the crop?,
Can shallow incorporation be as effective in conserving N as deeper incorporation?,
Can no-till planting be compatible with manure injection?, What is the carry over benefit of manure application?

March 9th Corn Fertility in Times of Peak Fertilizer Prices
Janice Degni, Extension Field Crops Specialist
This seminar will outline a strategy for corn production that targets manure nutrients and purchased fertilizer where they are needed and conserving where needs are met by nutrient turnover from organic matter and drawing down previously built reserves.

Small Grain & Soybean Fertility in Times of Peak Fertilizer Prices
Jeff Miller, Extension Field Crops Specialist, Oneida County CCE
We will discuss fertilization practices that optimize winter wheat production for grain and triticale production for forage. We will also discuss soybean production and fertilization practices that should be considered in corn grain / soybean rotations.

Hay Crop Fertility - A Foundation of Success
Dale Dewing, Sr Team Leader, WAP Nutrient Management. CCE Delaware County
Quality forage from hay crops is the foundation of profitably raising dairy and livestock, there is no substitute for good yields of good quality hay and silage. If you're going to get this right, you'll need a solid plan for meeting the fertility needs of this humble, and sometimes over looked crop. This workshop will help you make the most of your on-farm fertility sources, and sort through how to profitably use purchased inputs to get a good return on your investment. We will consider needs of alfalfa, grass and mixed stands for all major nutrients as well as pH and lime.

Using Precision Technologies to Improve Nutrient Efficiency and Save Fertilizer Costs
Manuel Marcaida, Subha Srinivasagan, Sunoj Shajahan, Quirine Ketterings (Nutrient Management Spear Program)
Advances in sensor technologies and analytical tools (machine learning and spatial statistics) now make it possible for farmers to be create management zones and make more informed decisions about crop inputs and nutrient management. In this session, we will talk about gathering high quality sensor-based data, creating yield maps and management zones for the farm, making use of grid-based soil

Cash Rent and Custom Harvest Survey
To date, there is limited information available about rental rates and fees for crop harvesting. Farms can use this valuable information for their farm business planning to help improve decision making and profitability.Farmers Can Join MeatSuite For Free!
MeatSuite.com is a free resource provided by Cornell University where NY meat farmers can create a farm profile and list their bulk (wholes, halves, quarters) and bundled (i.e. Grilling Bundle) meat products.Why should farmers join?
1. It's free and easy!
2. Connect with more local customers. In the past year the MeatSuite.com farm directory had 8,300 visits from New York consumers. Farm profiles get as many as 25 views per month from potential local customers. We also spotlight MeatSuite farms on social media and bring attention and purchases to farms through highlights and giveaways.
How do I join?
Farmers can visit https://www.meatsuite.com/farmers/ to create a free farm profile. You must list at least one product for your farm's profile to go live. You'll also have access to Cornell's free Meat Price Calculator, a helpful tool for pricing your meat to make a profit.
While you're on MeatSuite, check out the "Creating Consumer-Friendly Bulk Meats" publication on the log-in page. It has tips on how to create bulk meat products that are easier for first-time buyers to say "yes" to.
If you have any questions as you create your farm profile or products, we're here to help! Please email Matt LeRoux at mnl28@cornell.edu.
