1 Welcome to the Missouri Blueberry School
2 The Missouri Blueberry School Patrick Byers and Ben Fuqua University of Missouri Extension Missouri State University School of Agriculture
3 Outline Blueberries past and present Missouri s current situation The future The Michigan trip The Missouri Blueberry School
4 Blueberries The Healthy Fruit
5 History of Blueberries Indigenous to North America Called star berries by native Americans and utilized for food and medicinal uses
6 Highbush Blueberries the beginnings Selected wild blueberries growing between cranberry bogs near Whitesbog NJ Dr. Fredrick Coville (USDA) started research on blueberries in 1910 Elizabeth White collected plants for early research experiments Dr. Coville developed first 15 commercial varieties of blueberries
7 Highbush Blueberry Development 1916 Coville/White produced the first cultivated blueberry At its production peak, Whitesbog had 90 acres under cultivation Dr. George Darrow (1937) took over USDA blueberry breeding program From 1946 to 1962, Dr. Darrow provided seedling plants to cooperators in 13 states (U of Vermont Extension)
8 Major Blueberries Vaccinium Grown in US Low Bush V. augustifolium Northern Highbush V. corymbosum Rabbiteye V. ashei Southern Highbush V. darrowii
9 Major Blueberry Producing Michigan New Jersey North Carolina Oregon Georgia Washington States estimated Missouri acreage 200 acres (2009 USDA)
10 Missouri Blueberry History 1975 First Blueberry Research Projects Mountain Grove Fruit Experiment Station Springfield - MSU Darr Agricultural Center Early Growers Roger and Jan Hackard Art and Juanita Steinbaugh Tom and Penny Willis
11 Missouri Blueberry Researchers Dr. James N. Moore and students (Arkansas) Dr. Gerald (Jerry) Brown Dr. Ben Fuqua Dr. Milwant Sandhu Dr. Peter Anderson Dr. Martin Kaps Marilyn Odneal Pat Byers
12 Missouri Blueberry History Blueberry Council of Missouri formed in 1987 Primary objective: the development and promotion of high quality Missouri blueberries Identify locations of Missouri blueberry growers Promote Missouri grown blueberries Demonstrate multi-uses of ripe blueberries Support educational programs Assist with blueberry research projects
13 Challenges for Missouri Growers Soil conditions; ph, depth, drainage Proper irrigation of plants Bird, bird, and more birds Weed control Disease pressures Insects NO PROBLEM: Selling and eating blueberries
14
15 Missouri s Current Situation Missouri acreage 200+ acres Most of the production is from plantings that are less than 10 acres in size Most of production is direct marketed Demand is strong for locally produced blueberries National consumption of blueberries continues to increase Do we have enough production to meet present and future demand?
16 Missouri s Future Do Missouri blueberry growers have advantages? You bet! Central location Adequate water resources Suitable sites, with modification in some cases Innovative farmers Local and regional demand for blueberries
17 Missouri s Future Do Missouri blueberry growers have challenges? You bet! Soils issues High ph: Low organic matter: <3% High calcium content Poor drainage, impervious soil layers Lack of ideally suited cultivars Climate
18 Missouri s Future The supply of Missouri blueberries is insufficient for demand US per capita consumption of blueberries is estimated at 26.2 ounces (2008, USHBC) If we focus on the estimated per capita fresh consumption of 12.3 ounces, we would need 211,540 lbs of fresh fruit, or around 26 acres of mature bushes to meet the needs of Greene County (pop 275,174)
19 Missouri s Future The national scene will influence Missouri Blueberry per capita consumption has room to grow Underdeveloped domestic markets Limited volume currently allocated to offshore markets Blueberries continue as key ingredient in new product development (> 1200 new products in 2010) Blueberry Health Halo remains a purchase driver
20 Missouri s Future US Highbush Blueberry Council initiatives: Expand Health Research and Move to Human Clinical Trials Reach Out to a Larger Audience, Explore New Markets and Uses Maintain Consumer Awareness of Blueberries and Health Given More Aggressive Claims By Other Fruit and Vegetable Groups Expand Current Promotional Activities and Broaden Audience Reach Through Advertising Programs Support Good Management and Food Safety Practices for more information
