The objective of my research program and the research staff at the Lake Erie Research and Extension Laboratory is to help the New York grape juice industry reach their goal of producing maximum sustainable yield of high quality fruit through viticulture research and education. We work closely with producers and processors to identify research questions that are applicable to the industry. Those questions are then transformed into scientific research projects at the lab. We pass on the knowledge gained from those experiments to extension specialists, processor representatives, and grape producers in a variety of educational media, such as research publications, conferences, grower workshops, newsletters, and web sites.
