CORNELL SMALL FARMS SEEKS NEW YORK LOG-MUSHROOM GROWER INFORMATION
ITHACA, NY -- The Cornell Small Farms Program is requesting that
farmers in New York currently producing log-grown mushrooms and those
that intend to begin commercial sales of mushrooms in 2016.
Following on the heels of last week's announcement that New York
State has officially designated "actively managed log-grown woodland
mushrooms" within the meaning of the term "crops, livestock and
livestock products," the program is gathering grower data in order to
seek funding to support industry growth.
A short survey can can be accessed at : http://goo.gl/forms/LCSZZGdliv.
New York growers can complete the survey until *Monday, October 19^th *.
The Cornell Small Farms Program offers research and outreach on
cultivation strategies and policy work, including factsheets, videos,
and an online course in mushroom cultivation. These items can be
found at www.cornellmushrooms.org <http://www.cornellmushrooms.org>.
