Corn rootworm damage is showing up in multiple continuous corn fields across Central New York this season. 🌽

Cornell researchers and field specialists documented:
• 4 counties
• 23 fields scored
• More than 2,000 acres
• Root injury, lodging and goosenecking

The findings are a reminder to scout fields, document root injury and field history, and consider crop rotation and diversified management strategies when planning for 2027.

Mark Lott’s impact on New York agriculture goes far beyond his own farm.

Over the years, he has opened his farm to legislators, educators, and regulators, served on the NYCSGA board, stayed active with Farm Bureau, and helped advance local efforts like Share the Road to improve safety and access for farm equipment 🚜

That record of leadership, advocacy, and service earned Mark the 2026 New York Legacy Farmer Award.

Now, NYCSGA is accepting nominations for the 2027 award. If you know a grower whose years of leadership have made a lasting difference in New York agriculture, nominate them by December 1: https://nycornsoy.org/membership/2027-nycsga-leadership-award-nominations

Farm Dog is a new program built around a simple idea: Farmers and farm families should have an easy, confidential place to turn when they need someone to talk to.

Farm Dog connects farmers with trained stress coaches who understand the realities and pressures of agriculture. Support is free and confidential, with conversations available by call, text, or telehealth, whether that’s from the truck, tractor, or kitchen table.

The goal is to make getting support feel a little easier and a lot more accessible.

Farm Dog is just getting started, and while services haven’t expanded to New York yet, we can help the program grow. Merchandise purchases and donations help fund free care and expand its reach to more farm families.

Learn more, shop Farm Dog gear, or donate at atrustedear.org.
