Local production of this high-demand fruit, however, is limited by the invasive pest, spotted wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, Diptera: Drosophilidae). Recent research to develop integrated pest management (IPM) programs for MN berry crops indicates that raspberry growers are particularly vulnerable to significant spotted wing Drosophila-related yield losses. Spotted wing Drosophila was detected in Minnesota in 2012 across 29 counties. This analysis explores the economic impact of raspberry yield losses associated with spotted wing Drosophila in Minnesota as part of a multifaceted research initiative. An electronic survey of 157 MN berry growers was conducted in November 2017. Eighty-two individual grower surveys were returned (52% response rate). The survey included questions about production acreage, marketing practices, spotted wing Drosophila-related yield losses and future production intentions. The results of the e-survey indicate that raspberry growers have borne the highest levels of infestation among MN fruit growers surveyed. Spotted wing Drosophila-related yield losses for raspberry growers ranged from 2 to 100% of planted acreage.The median yield loss for this group of growers was 20% in 2017. Applying the median yield loss to ex-ante production estimates, we conclude that MN growers lost approximately $2.36 million in raspberry sales during the 1 yr studied. Investing in spotted wing Drosophila control measures will help MN growers reduce some of these losses in the future.Item Episode 148 - Cow-level cumulative lifetime break-even and financial resiliency with Joleen Hadrich #1(University of Minnesota Extension, 2022-12-12) Hadrich, Joleen; Armstrong, Joe; Krekelberg, Emily; Heins, BradPart 1 of 2 of our time with Joleen Hadrich, Economist and friend of The Moos Room, who has done a ton of work to help farms understand how to make decisions and how to look at the long-term staying power of an operation.Item Episode 149 - Cow-level cumulative lifetime break-even and financial resiliency with Joleen Hadrich #2(University of Minnesota Extension, 2022-12-19) Hadrich, Joleen; Armstrong, Joe; Krekelberg, Emily; Heins, BradPart 2 (of 2) of our time with Joleen Hadrich, Economist and friend of The Moos Room.
