Hard Cider Supply Chain Analysis

In the Spring of 2017, Harvest NY surveyed members of the hard cider industry, to include apple growers, hard cider producers, and nurseries, to analyze the current state of the value chain and assess projected growth. The information contained within this report is an analysis of the survey data received. The surveys were developed through a collaborative effort among: Cornell University, Cornell Cooperative Extension Area Teams, and the New York Cider Association. The distribution of the electronic survey was made possible through the support of Cornell University, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the New York Cider Association, and the New York Apple Association.

New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series

Cornell Cooperative Extension has partnered with dozens of urban farms across New York State to demonstrate and evaluate sustainable pest management strategies. Together with farmers, we found success using control methods that prevent or reduce crop losses through exclusion strategies, crop timing, host resistance, the introduction of beneficial organisms, and more. Regardless of management strategy used, common requirements for success include a knowledge of the pest and disease complex, preventative deployment and commitment to the process. The New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series includes case studies highlighting pest management techniques that New York urban farms have found valuable.
