Thanks IFPA: "Strategic investments in research, technical assistance, risk management tools, and conservation programs can help growers remain competitive while adopting a wide range of production approaches that respond to evolving consumer preferences and marketplace demand."
International Fresh Produce Association@IntFreshProduce
IFPA CEO Cathy Burns is testifying before @SenateAgGOP and @SenateAgDems on increasing domestic consumption of U.S.-grown agricultural products. Fresh produce requires fast, efficient, dependable supply chains. Watch here: agriculture.senate.gov/hearings/incre…

There was 60:40 a preference for West Coast broccoli when buyers did not know its source, but the preference is decidedly the opposite (70:30 for East Coast) when buyers knew the source of each variety.

I will be kicking off Purdue's winter Vegetable Chat series next Monday 11/17 with some updates on raising broccoli in the eastern US.

Delighted to present the outcomes of our SCRI-funded project on Alternaria in broccoli at UFL @ChristineSmart6 @USDA_NIFA @ugaCAESresearch
English
A broccoli variety adapted to eastern North America was not on the to-do list for seed companies. The Eastern Broccoli Project changed that. After a considerable amount of work and collaboration, NorthStar has been released by @BejoSeeds. news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/0…

This research explains how fungicide-resistant alternaria blight was popping up in new places. It also provides the assay that allows seed companies to screen for the seedborne disease so that this is no longer a source of infestation. Tremendous work!

@Synergie16 @waitrose The uneven head is typical of harvesting a day or two too late or of having too-warm nights when the head first begins developing. The Eastern Broccoli project has worked with public and private breeders to develop new varieties that look better in stressful conditions.

More and more of the vegetables people buy come in plastic clamshells. The convenience and food safety outweigh the cost and environmental consequences for many consumers.

@CCAGaryEngland @UF_HAEC The regional teamwork paid off many ways. A couple big NY growers bought land in Florida to extend their season. The FL group also produced Andre DaSilva, star prof at Auburn.
English
The @easternbroccoli project was a key effort of the @UF_HAEC team during my time there. Dr. Lincoln Zotarelli & his team, with the assistance of Farm Manager Scott and staff made the project a success & good to see promising selections for expanding the market window identified.

New more heat-tolerant varieties have lengthened the broccoli growing season in the Eastern US. But the heat of July and August challenges even the best, making it high risk. Warm nights don't allow flower development to proceed. Here's summer stalwart Imperial in New York.

Bejo's efforts to provide high-quality organic and organic-treated broccoli seed is a valuable contribution to this industry. The tech is also a great platform for validating seed-applied biological inocula.

🌱Onze biologische zaadcoating is gemaakt van natuurlijke materialen. Het voordeel van zaadcoating is het gladdere zaadoppervlak en minder stofontwikkeling van het zaad, wat resulteert in een betere zaaibaarheid. Lees meer👉🏼bit.ly/organiccoating. #Organic #Bejo #zaadcoating

The lake plain south of Lake Ontario is an amazingly good place to produce vegetables. Great land, infrastructure and markets. Plus powerful research and extension @ccecornell support for continuous innovation in practices.

Specialty crops play a huge role in the economy of New York, though companies say there is much more that helps the state stand out. thepacker.com/news/industry/…

We had a good visit at Cornell Agritech with Ger Beemsterboer (the Be in Bejo) to talk about the Eastern Broccoli Project. Bejo is releasing an Eastern-adapted variety within two months (Exp3622 for now) from the collaboration. Travis Mattison (right) is the Bejo Northeast rep.

How do you find out whether your research and extension actually make a difference? There are proven ways to do it.
