Connecting farmers, researchers, and service providers to advance resilient & profitable organic farming systems. 

Co-hosted by New York Soil Health and Cornell CALS, the annual conference brings together leaders in organic grain, dairy, and livestock systems to share practical tools, new research, and farmer-tested strategies to support resilient and profitable organic production.

CCE Cayuga Cayuga, PRODairy, and the SCNY Regional Team, will be hosting their March shop meeting "Understanding the Benefit and Logistics of Dairy and Crop Farmers Sharing Manure."

No registration is required — doors open at 12:30 PM.

This meeting is targeted at both experienced and new farm workers and ag service contractors 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. 

Topics:

• How to Do Dry Cows Correctly -- precision dry cow management
• Dystocia model -- demonstrate and discussion on calving interventions
• Health Checks on Fresh Cows
• Facility Considerations and Pen Management
