With all the talk about climate change you might be wondering how it will affect food production, pests, and even landscapes-and what you can do about it. This is definitely a year when weather changes have affected our crops - from the Valentine's Day massacre winter freeze to plant life gasping for water. Come and learn how gathering information on weather and climate can help growers, gardeners and landscapers plan for changes. Find details on The Climate and Weather Conference webpage<http://nysipm.cornell.edu/resources/nys-ipm-conferences/climate-and-weather-conference>. We are honored that Richard Ball, the Commissioner of the New York State (NYS) Department of Agriculture and Markets, will kick off the conference with opening remarks. A wide variety of speakers from NYS and the Northeast will provide background information on the current state of knowledge on climate change and changes in our weather patterns, and how collecting climate and weather data can help us predict and manage pests. Open discussion sessions are included so you can ask your own questions. Join us to learn and discuss!
