GREAT LAKES EXPO
High tunnels, tomatoes highlight EXPO virtual sessions
2020 Virtual
subset of growers, Kleinhenz said, that
could benefit greatly from learning more
about high tunnels.
Agricultural programs at the high school,
High tunnels and intricate high tunnel
systems can be a wide-ranging, diverse
topic among growers of many varieties.
At the 2020 Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable
& Farm Market EXPO, Matt Kleinhenz, a
professor and Extension specialist at Ohio
State University, will provide valuable
information for growers on two topics
within high tunnel systems: grafting and
leafy-green production.
In the " Protected Agriculture " session,
Kleinhenz said the high tunnel and
high tunnel system information he'll be
providing can be beneficial for growers
across many different varieties.
" (The session) appeals most to people
who already have semi-protected systems as
part of their operation - any farmer, grower,
educator or organizational representative, "
he said. " But really, it appeals to so many
different kinds (of growers). High tunnels
are used by a very wide-ranging, diverse
group of growers. "
Although the majority of the session is
aimed at for-profit growers, there is one
technical college or vocational program
level, where they either are growing or
starting to grow using high tunnels, are
looking for ways to use them in a more
productive way. But what sets these types
of growers apart, according to Kleinhenz,
is that they're not necessarily utilizing
high tunnels for-profit - but rather for
educational and research purposes.
Another session Kleinhenz will be
contributing to is the " Semi-Protected "
session on tomatoes, eggplants and
peppers - a session that Kleinhenz said
always generates tremendous interest at
the Great Lakes EXPO.
Noting that tomatoes are generally the
most commonly grown type of produce
utilizing high tunnels, Kleinhenz said the
two sessions being " complementary " to one
another is a unique and important aspect
of the way the EXPO plans its educational
sessions. " Between these two sessions,
you've got complementary information -
one crop-focused and one system-focused -
which is really important, " Kleinhenz said.
Even though the Great Lakes EXPO
will be virtual in 2020, Kleinhenz said
he sees benefits to attending the virtual
Great Lakes EXPO
The EXPO will be held Dec. 8-10,
from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST each day,
ending late afternoon on Thursday.
There will be programming breaks
in the schedule from 3 p.m. to
3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST
each day. All of the typical sessions
attendees have come to expect
from the Great Lakes EXPO still
will be available, though due to the
different format and schedule, the
day and time may vary.
sessions - and anticipates some areas
where there may be advantages over
gathering in-person.
" It's very important to attend sessions
because of the information that growers can
gain. It comes from a lot of different sources
and different perspectives, " Kleinhenz said.
" With the sessions being online, they may
draw even larger crowds of visitors who
previously may not have been able to
experience all of the sessions. If we try to
focus on the positive, (the digital EXPO)
can actually be kind of a cool experience. "
In addition, attendees will be able
to attend even more sessions than
during previous years.
Some of the new sessions for
2020 include: " Beginning Farmer, "
" Protected Culture, " " Mechanical
Cultivation, " " Emerging Pest
Issues, " " Pesticide Resistance
Management, " " Hemp " and more.

becomes available.
As Kleinhenz mentioned, for the
first time, the 2020 Great Lakes EXPO
is going virtual. Aside from the health
and safety benefits, shifting the 2020
EXPO to a virtual platform also means
that the educational sessions will have a
wider variety of content and speakers, no
limits in attendance size and easier Q&A
capabilities with growers.
