Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

2019 WERA-1017 Annual Meeting September 18-19 2019 Richland Community Center, Richland, WA 

Attending: Jim Farrar, Paul Jepson, Peter Ellsworth, Al Fournier, Katie Murray, Natalie Ferris, Amer Fayad, Steve Elliott, Matt Baur, Naomi Pier, Doug Walsh, Diane Alston, Marion Murray, Mary Burrows, John Connett, Bob Nowierski, Laura Lavine, Rhonda Hirnyck, Tunyalee, Frank Piers, Greta Dupuis, Sally O'Neil, Melody Hefner (Nevada), Miranda Kerston (NM), Scott Werner, Len Coop, Sarah Eilers, Mark Wright 

Discussion of the WERA-1017 continuation report and new project proposal 

• Doug Walsh will work with Mary Burrows (incoming Chair) on developing the report
• Discussed:
  • Structuring state reports using impact style with reference to specific WERA Objectives
  • Possibly focusing the WERA report on knowledge and collaboration/cooperation gains and sorting by WERA objectives (merging efforts by objectives) rather than by state
  • Highlighting impacts across commodities similar to the W-4185 project
  • State reports should highlight the 20% of EIP grants that is focused on research to help develop the next proposal (see below)
• ACTION ITEM: Mary Burrows will share the template for state reports through WERA listserv 

The current project terminates next year and the new proposal draft is due in six to eight months with one more in-person meeting before the proposal is due. The last proposal was written by Mary Burrows and Tom Holzer. Reviews of the previous proposals and reports identified the need to highlight research activities in addition to the extension activities

• Discussed items included:
  • Assuring that objectives in the next project proposal can be accomplished within the timeframe
  • State reports should highlight the 20% of EIP grants that is focused on research to help develop the proposal
  • The proposal/report should include summaries from Risk Communication Signature Program subgroup
    • Katie will help to assemble this component for the proposal
  • Highlight the Project Director Workshop held in connection with the WERA1017 meeting includes the ARDP program
  • The proposal could contain a synthesis component such as state of IPM in the west, research gaps, areas for improvement, achievements and flow of information between
  • Extension and research, 

WERA-1017 report to National IPM Coordinating Committee (NIPMCC)

• Doug will need state reports to develop the NIPMCC report
• The West should identify a chair-elect for NIPMCC
• Concerns about current NIPMCC efforts were raised including a general lack of information about the upcoming meeting in October released to the larger IPM community 

NIFA/EIP Update (Bob Nowierski)

• Fiscal year 19/20 CPPM awards have been processed and ARDP award information is forthcoming
• About 25% of NIFA staff will report in Kansas City, Missouri by the end of the month, and National Program Lead jobs announced at gov 

• Bob will probably be the intermn NPL for CPPM and as such requests briefs from advisory committees
• Six NIFA science liaisons will stay in DC
• In an effort to alleviate some of the pressure on the remaining NIFA staff, the WERA group suggested that IPM Centers might be able to help administer the CPPM program
• The RFP for EIP is in the works but not ready for prime time
• ACTION ITEM: Jim and Peter will draft a recommendation for moving administration of CPPM programs to the regional IPM centers and circulate to the WERA committee
• ACTION ITEM: Doug will bring up the proposal to move administration of CPPM programs to the regional IPM centers at the NIPMCC meeting in October in Washington DC 

Western IPM Center Update (Team)

• On the CPPM common measures initiative
  • The IPM centers will accumulate common measures in the accomplishments section of REEPort
  • The common measures will be a summary of products and outputs (tallies) & statistics on knowledge and behavior changes
  • Also discussed was the measurement of Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) as a knowledge change category
  • Discussed were Agriculture Experiment Station Directors workshops on developing short paragraphs focused on a subset of stakeholders and the impacts for that community in story format
• General overviews of the Center signature programs were provided
  • The Risk Communication Signature program seeks to develop a better understanding and ability to communicate pesticide risk and hazards by IPM extension personnel in the West
  • The Network Coordination Signature program seeks to provide information to inform EPA decisions, and the efforts on the part of Al Fournier to document the impacts of these efforts including examples where Center comments are cited in EPA decisions and case studies documenting the economic impacts of the EPA decisions
  • Crop-Pest Losses workgroups benchmarks industries on where they stand on IPM. And for IPM programs can serve as a needs assessment or program evaluation or strategic planning process
    • To date assessments in the Pacific Northwest include onions, potatoes, mint, cranberry, sweet cherry, hazelnut, and planned are the pear and nursery industries 

NRCS 595 (IPM) Standard Discussion

To qualify for EQUIP funds, the NRCS 595 Standard requires growers to use IPM recommendations extended by Land Grant Universities, but in the West, some specialty crops do not have established IPM programs developed by the state LGU. UC IPM guidelines cover 47 crops, but 100's of crops grown in the state.

• Ask: Is there a way to cover a minor/specialty crop in a state where an IPM system isn't published? Could the WERA committee develop IPM guidelines for minor crops not covered by an existing document?
• NRCS has reached out to Mary Burrows and Katie Murray
• Decided that the WERA committee is interested in further discussion on expectations and funds allocated to the process with NRCS
• ACTION ITEM: Mary will forward the communication with NRCS to Jim
• ACTION ITEM: Katie Murray will forward the NRCS meeting request to Jim - 

Project Director Workshop for CPPM program 

ARDP Project Director Report:

Development of Integrated Pest Management Strategies for Commercial Dairies: Formulating Dairy Total Mixed Rations that are Resistant to Bird Depredation

• Scott Werner, Research Wildlife Biologist at the USDA National Wildlife Research Center in Fort Collins
  • The focus of the project is the development of bird resistant (BR) feed formulations
  • Bird impacts include disease transmission (salmonella, & others) and diminished economic returns by consuming feed
  • Increased pellet size and pellet cohesion decreased bird depredation
  • The bird resistant (BR) pellets with increased size and cohesion negatively affected Average Daily Gain (ADG), milk production, and fat and lactose yield, but the effect varied by breed
  • The BR pellets will be economical under high bird pressure, but the level of pressure is yet to be determined

EDUCATIONAL AIDS / CURRICULA

Moyer's team hosted a "Viticulture Intern Boot Camp" on May 30, 2019, dedicated to field scouting and identification of diseases.

Foss led WSU's partnership with the Xerces Society, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon State University, and Oregon Department of Agriculture in conducting project training for the Pacific Northwest Bumble Bee Atlas at WSU's research and extension center in Puyallup, scheduled for June 15, 2019.

Patten conducted a cranberry field day 8-1-18 at the Pacific Coast Cranberry Research Foundation offices in Long Beach.

Miles and her team created a lesson for K-12 students titled "Measuring Sweetness of Fruit," in which STEM students developed and tested their hypothesis. regarding sweetness of fruit. Students learned the concept of refraction, use of a refractometer, and how to formulate and test a scientific concept.

Foss developed and held a 2-day training for landscape professionals Oct 24-25, 2018, in cooperation with the Washington State Nursery & Landscape Association. The training included presentations and hands-on activities demonstrated over 200 sustainable practices.

Hopkins and the WSU Honey Bees and Pollinators team partnered with Fungi Perfecti to develop an outreach curriculum explaining how fungi can improve honey bee and pollinator health.

Lyon and his team organized the popular Wheat Academy held Dec 11-12, 2018. A sellout group of 75 attended this in-depth course on production and pest management topics, about half of which directly related to IPM.

Miles' team converted their Guide for Hosting a Vegetable Grafting Workshop into a K-12 classroom lesson, "The Science Behind Vegetable Grafting," in cooperation with WA state educators and the Washington Science and Teacher Association.
