It has now been restored to a substantial contribution to the farm&#8217;s cropping plan. Long-term support from the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program made possible Shields&#8217; research to develop the science needed to find a nature-based solution for managing the #1 destructive pest of alfalfa crops, alfalfa snout beetle. That solution is now working in multiple states to combat different crop and berry pests.
