Greenhouse management students tour businesses

From Bill Miller:

In a three-day whirlwind tour earlier this spring, the 27 students in Bill Miller’s Greenhouse Management class (Hort 3100) toured 11 businesses in Rochester, Buffalo and the St. Catherines area in Ontario.

The group was treated to visits to a number of Cornell alums, including the Moore Family in Henrietta (Gro-Moore Farms), The Call and Riners families near Batavia (Triple-P farms) and the Zittel family in Eden NY (Amos Zittel and Sons).

After crossing in to Canada, the next two days were a treat of advanced technology and large operations including cucumbers, bedding plants, plugs, pot plants, cut flowers and a greenhouse manufacturing company. All in all, a great trip with lots to see for the students, faculty and staff on the trip.
