Graziers of all types of livestock are invited to these discussion-based meetings. We will share a pot of soup while watching a presentation on how the grazing animal's rumen works. Discussions will follow on member's grazing operations; their strengths and weaknesses. This will help set up topics for future meetings. These meetings are free to attend. Donations of cash or soup ingredients would be appreciated.

Grazing livestock can be a low-cost way to make use of perennial grasses to produce food and fiber for the family or to sell. What many have found is that to be profitable, productive, and fun the grazier needs to understand the interactions of: nutrition, plant growth, nutrient cycling, soil health, record keeping, as well as other pieces that success is made up of.

By combining the theory and practice of farm business accounting into a single course, this training program will empower you to set up and maintain a record keeping system that is accurate, efficient, and useful.

Do you have a plan in place for transferring your farm business to the next generation?

Join CCE-trained educators for a FREE & Virtual series focused on leveling
up your toolbox when it comes to building a strong management team, assessing
your business for the future, and tax management considerations when it comes
to succession planning.

Whether you are currently working on a succession plan, currently implementing
one, or don't want to use the word (because who plans for the future, right?!)
this online series is for you!

Each week on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8pm EST, a set of trained CCE
educators will explore a specific topic and present resources, options and
scenarios to help you better apply the concepts to your own farm and situation.
The presentations will be recorded and provided to all registrants, along with
handouts for each session. It is FREE to join each week. Each registrant will
receive the zoom link to join the session, as well as a reminder email the
morning of the session.

This meeting is targeted at both experienced and new farm workers who are operating trucks and ag equipment while applying manure and harvesting crops. There will be CAFO training credits available for farms that need them. This meeting will be held live and in-person, but a zoom option allowing remote viewing may be offered.

The New York Certified Organic (NYCO) dairy and field crops farmer-to-farmer meetings will finally return to the Jordan Hall auditorium on the Cornell AgriTech campus in Geneva.

Meetings: February 14 will be focused on dairy and March 14 will be focused on field crops. Both meetings will run from 9am to 1pm and participants are encouraged to bring a dish to pass for lunch. The meetings are free to attend and all farmers are welcome.
