The relative ease of applying neonicotinoids at planting coupled with inexpensive, generic neonicotinoid formulations has reduced the incentive for potato growers to transition from these products to other mode of action groups for full season insect control. Continuous use of neonicotinoids has resulted in resistant populations, nontarget effects, and environmental contamination in several production areas of the United States. Continued reliance on neonicotinoids will accelerate the severity of these issues, and novel approaches are warranted to increase the sustainability of the industry. These increasing concerns have elevated the importance of proactive pest management programs that integrate non-neonicotinoid insecticides.

With 15 years of track record and over 4,000 systems in use, we are bringing this game-changing technology to the world.<br \/>\nRainmaker&#8217;s advanced oxidation process restructures irrigation water, with highly energized oxygen molecules similar to rainwater. This restructuring not only breaks down contaminants, such as chlorides, but also ensures a clean, disease-free, and highly efficient irrigation system.<br \/>\nThe outstanding results The Rainmaker is getting are in our enhanced oxidation process, which creates restructured water that relieves soil compaction, increases permeability and water holding capacity. The result is an aerobic soil environment. The soil is friable and permeable allowing water to soak in immediately rather than puddle and evaporate. The aerobic environment facilitates \u2018good\u2019 bacteria and fungus, enabling farmers to quickly implement regenerative farming practices in addition to the benefits it brings to traditional irrigated farming practices.<br \/>\n<em>Riaan Kirsten, Founder and Chief Technical Officer, Rainmaker.Earth <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n                     <\/div>\n                  <\/section>\n                                                                           <section class=\"py-0\" data-section-index=\"9\" data-section=\"01-10-2024\" data-group=\"5\">\n                     <div class=\"flex flex-col lg:flex-row\">\n                        <div class=\"mg-block-potato-expo-event--time w-full lg:w-1\/5 lg:min-w-112 text-center p-12 text-white\">\n                           <div class=\"flex justify-center mb-3\"><!-- Generated by IcoMoon.io -->\n<svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\">\n<title>time<\/title>\n<path d=\"M16 0c4.374 0 8.426 1.636 11.378 4.622 2.986 2.986 4.622 7.040 4.622 11.414s-1.636 8.426-4.622 11.378c-2.951 2.95-7.004 4.586-11.378 4.586s-8.426-1.636-11.378-4.586c-2.986-2.988-4.622-7.040-4.622-11.414s1.636-8.426 4.586-11.378c2.987-2.986 7.040-4.622 11.414-4.622zM16 2.453c-3.697 0-7.147 1.386-9.636 3.875-2.489 2.525-3.875 5.937-3.875 9.671 0 3.697 1.386 7.147 3.875 9.636s5.937 3.875 9.636 3.875c3.733 0 7.147-1.386 9.671-3.875 2.525-2.489 3.875-5.937 3.875-9.636 0-3.733-1.386-7.147-3.911-9.671-2.488-2.487-5.937-3.875-9.635-3.875zM15.602 6.4c0.652 0 1.202 0.557 1.202 1.217v8.174l5.253 5.356c0.48 0.486 0.447 1.217-0.035 1.704-0.24 0.244-0.549 0.349-0.858 0.349h-0c-0.308 0-0.583-0.105-0.79-0.348l-5.973-6.053v-9.182c0-0.66 0.55-1.217 1.202-1.217z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n                           2:00 pm &#8211; 2:50 pm                                                   <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"mg-block-potato-expo-event--details w-full lg:w-4\/5 py-9 px-12\">\n\n                           <h3><span class=\"TextRun SCXW13892047 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW13892047 BCX8\">Potatoes Gone Viral!

Increase Productivity and Quality with More Accurate Seed Placement<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are many things out of a grower\u2019s control, but seed placement is not one of them. It all starts with a seed. Ensuring seed is properly placed is critical in achieving the best yields possible on your farm. Named one of the 10 most innovative products in the potato industry in 2023 by Spud Smart Magazine, Bluefield Seeding Solutions aims to help growers improve their profitability through better seed placement. This system is composed of a press wheel mounted on the planter which improves plant spacing uniformity, along with a sensor that detects contact of each seed piece as it is planted. The grower can see, in real-time, their average spacing and the planter\u2019s actual performance of seed\u2019s placement in the furrow of each row. This enables them to take corrective action if required. Planters can travel significantly faster than conventional planter setups while maintaining more consistent spacing.<br \/>\n<em>Evan MacDonald, Precision Agronomist, Contour Consulting <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Craig McCloskey, Owner, Bluefield Seeding Solutions<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>9:50-10:10am: <span class=\"TextRun SCXW51856046 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW51856046 BCX8\">Good-bye<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW51856046 BCX8\"> GI!

The discussion will focus on lessons learned from the first year of collaboration.<br \/>\n<em>Moderator: Daniel Metheringham, VP of Agriculture, McCain Foods <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Panelists: Amanda Crook, Lead Agronomist of Western North America, McCain Foods <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Austin Poulson, Idaho Innovation Hub Grower, Scott Poulson Farms <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Brett Reynolds, Washington Innovation Hub Grower, Reynolds Agribusiness LLC <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n                     <\/div>\n                  <\/section>\n                                                                           <section class=\"py-0\" data-section-index=\"8\" data-section=\"01-11-2024\" data-group=\"7\">\n                     <div class=\"flex flex-col lg:flex-row\">\n                        <div class=\"mg-block-potato-expo-event--time w-full lg:w-1\/5 lg:min-w-112 text-center p-12 text-white\">\n                           <div class=\"flex justify-center mb-3\"><!-- Generated by IcoMoon.io -->\n<svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\">\n<title>time<\/title>\n<path d=\"M16 0c4.374 0 8.426 1.636 11.378 4.622 2.986 2.986 4.622 7.040 4.622 11.414s-1.636 8.426-4.622 11.378c-2.951 2.95-7.004 4.586-11.378 4.586s-8.426-1.636-11.378-4.586c-2.986-2.988-4.622-7.040-4.622-11.414s1.636-8.426 4.586-11.378c2.987-2.986 7.040-4.622 11.414-4.622zM16 2.453c-3.697 0-7.147 1.386-9.636 3.875-2.489 2.525-3.875 5.937-3.875 9.671 0 3.697 1.386 7.147 3.875 9.636s5.937 3.875 9.636 3.875c3.733 0 7.147-1.386 9.671-3.875 2.525-2.489 3.875-5.937 3.875-9.636 0-3.733-1.386-7.147-3.911-9.671-2.488-2.487-5.937-3.875-9.635-3.875zM15.602 6.4c0.652 0 1.202 0.557 1.202 1.217v8.174l5.253 5.356c0.48 0.486 0.447 1.217-0.035 1.704-0.24 0.244-0.549 0.349-0.858 0.349h-0c-0.308 0-0.583-0.105-0.79-0.348l-5.973-6.053v-9.182c0-0.66 0.55-1.217 1.202-1.217z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n                           9:30 am &#8211; 11:30 am                                                   <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"mg-block-potato-expo-event--details w-full lg:w-4\/5 py-9 px-12\">\n\n                           <h3>Sessions at the Pavilion Theater<\/h3>\n<p><em>Pavilion Stage, Expo Hall<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>9:30-10am: Farm Policy and a Dysfunctional Washington, D.C.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Farm Bill expired in September of 2023 and the dysfunction in Washington, D.C. is threatening this essential rewrite of our nation\u2019s farm policy.

Greater climate volatility and changing consumer preferences have made this task a moving target that is difficult to hit with incremental improvements attained through time-honored tetraploid breeding. New varieties that appeal to customers are less dependent on inputs for yield, size, and quality and are resilient when confronted with environmental stresses. Growers of every market class will realize these returns. Before long, some new varieties will be produced from diploid potatoes using the latest advances in plant breeding technologies. This is your chance to discover how diploid potatoes can benefit your industry, where the first new opportunities can be anticipated, and how new varieties, including hybrid potatoes propagated from true seed, fit into the overall potato production system.<br \/>\n<em>Paul Bethke, Ph.D., Research Plant Physiologist, USDA-ARS<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Cari Schmitz Carley, Ph.D., Senior Breeder, Aardevo<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>3:10-3:40pm: Soil Health in Potatoes: Fry in the Sky or Grounded in Reality?<\/strong><br \/>\nSoil health is the foundation of regenerative agriculture and the backbone of resilient and climate-smart potato production.

Growers currently implementing any Climate-Smart practices, but not already receiving payments from another USDA program, may enroll those fields and acres in the project. A grower may enroll multiple fields that produce potatoes and rotational crops, that includes grains, corn, hay, onions, hemp, or any other crop commodities used in the farmer\u2019s rotation management system.<br \/>\n<em>Ken Frost, <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\">Ph.D., <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\">Associate Professor<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\"> and <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\">Extension <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\">Plan<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\">t Pa<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\">thologist<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\">, <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\">Oregon State University<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW211127929 BCX8\">Department of Botany and Plant Pathology &amp; Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>3-3:30pm: North American Potato Sustainability: Insights from 2023 and Our Sustainability Story<\/strong><br \/>\nPotatoes have a great sustainability story to tell.

For potato growers, disturbances to the soil throughout the crop cycle and little organic matter coverage left after harvest can cause soil loss and reduction in important soil nutrients available to future crops. Key resources like nutrients and water \u2013 particularly where irrigation is required \u2013 can be at risk of loss or poor uptake when the soil microbiome is starving, and thus dormant. Dr. Cassidy Million will share the power of utilizing your soil microbiome to &#8220;wake up\u201d dormant soil microbes to perform important functions like improving nutrient availability, water retention, and soil aggregation. Potato growers will glean valuable information on how to retain existing soil, improve its quality, and provide an ideal environment for protection against environmental stresses, such as drought, flooding, and erosion.<br \/>\n<em>Cassidy Million, Ph.D., VP of Ag Science, Heliae Agriculture<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>2:30-2:50pm: Advancing Potato Nutrition Research: Alliance for Potato Research &amp; Education Update <\/strong><br \/>\nLearn about recent APRE publications and exciting upcoming projects.

Over time those designs have changed and older storages have been upgraded. Some upgrades include the use of frequency drives to control fan speed, updated fan blades, louvers, doors, refrigeration, and condensation control. With all of these changes, one has to wonder if the storage is still performing adequately to provide the best environment. The Gellert Co., in cooperation with Agri-Stor Companies, has developed technology to monitor and verify ventilation system performance in real time. This monitoring includes but is not limited to, temperatures, humidities, CO2 levels, duct air speeds, total cfm, static pressures, and power consumption.
