SUMMARY:Growing Knowledge: Advancing Agriculture Through On-Farm Research
DESCRIPTION:Farmers constantly experiment and solve challenges\, serving as researchers in their own right. This workshop blends a tour of a recently certified organic farm with real-world examples of how Dorsey and Brittany Kordick use on-farm research to address pressing production challenges. Participants explore specific research projects—past\, current\, and planned—at Kordick Family Farm’s fruit orchard. Dorsey and Brittany discuss both externally funded and self-funded projects\, covering record-keeping\, reimbursement processes (when applicable)\, and the realities of conducting research on a commercial farm that produces saleable fruit. They present the research projects in which they participate\, such as a SARE initiative evaluating bamboo as a renewable\, silica-rich mulch for apple trees\, an entomology project developing a non-chemical “fence” for codling moth control\, and ongoing trials of various lures to improve insect trapping for reducing plum curculio\, a persistent pest in orchards managed without conventional chemicals.
