Dear Seneca County Grape Grower/Vineyard Owner:

In order to better serve the needs of the grape and wine industry in Seneca County, Seneca County Cornell Cooperative Extension is a founding member of the Finger Lakes Grape Program (FLGP). A consortium of six Finger Lakes CCE Associations and Cornell University, the FLGP provides a Viticulture Specialist, technicians as well as the support of Cornell University and the national Land Grant system to assist you in producing the best grapes and wine possible.

Per FLGP’s request, Seneca County CCE continues to be responsible for the enrollment of Seneca County vineyard owners into the program. When you enroll in the FLGP, you have a direct link to the latest information from Cornell and other resources around the country on topics that are important to you as a grape grower including pest management, vineyard nutrition, crop management, and farm business and marketing. The FLGP remains committed to providing you with important and timely information through a variety of means to help you produce the best crop possible, as efficiently as possible.

Your participation as a member supports the overall FLGP and Seneca CCE’s continued involvement as well as providing specific benefits. For 2024, the enrollment fee remains $75 which entitles you to:

• The Finger Lakes Vineyard Update email messages
• Veraison to Harvest Newsletter
• Grower Tailgate meetings throughout the summer
• Vineyard consultations with FLGP viticulture staff
• Important announcements about upcoming meetings and workshops

To enroll, you may either fill out and return the enclosed form with your check made out to Seneca County CCE or go to our website at www.senecacountycce.org. If you have questions or need assistance, call (315) 539-9251, ext. 109.

You can also purchase copies of the 2024 New York and Pennsylvania Pest Management Guidelines for Grapes with your enrollment. This Guideline is expected to be available late February 2024. Stated costs include postage. The Grape IPM Guidelines will again be available online in 2024, but there is a cost to access them. If you are interested in purchasing online access to the Guidelines, you can do so through the Cornell Store: www.cornellstore.com/books/cornell-cooperative-ext-pmep-guidelines

Additionally, you can purchase both a hard copy and online access at a discounted rate for each.

The Finger Lakes Grape Program website remains: https://flgp.cce.cornell.edu.

Thank you for your consideration and support of this important CCE Team and we look forward to your active participation in the coming year.

Sincerely,

Judy Wright

Agricultural Economic Development Specialist
