Use of Livestock As a Form of Site Preparation during Silvopasture Establishment from Woodland
Open to view video.
Open to view video.
Conversion of farm woodland to silvopasture is gathering interest in the northeastern United States. Farmers often turn toward livestock impact as a method of vegetation management and site preparation. However, the use of livestock, such as hogs and goats and cattle, to remove vegetation and prepare soil is not well understood by farmers or foresters. This presentation will draw on research and practice to discuss the negative impacts that can result from livestock during site preparation. This presentation will also provide examples of successful management strategies for the use of livestock as a vegetation management tool. Joseph Orefice, Yale University.
Impacts of Unpredictable Climate Patterns on Commercial Maple Syrup Production
Open to view video.

Climate change has led to unpredictable winter thaws and spring temperatures in traditional maple syrup production regions. This presentation will discuss the challenges an unpredictable climate places on the commercial production of maple syrup. It will also present the 2018 results of the Cornell Maple Program’s investigation into the timing of tapping impact on commercial maple and birch syrup production. Unpredictable weather patterns and increased numbers of taps have required maple syrup producers to tap trees earlier than traditional dates and this may have negative effects on late season sap flow.
