Our program is designed to meet the rapidly changing needs of our region's diverse agricultural community.

Our program is prepared to work with beginning farmers, retiring landowners, and diversifying farms that are in operation in SWNY and are producing in the areas of dairy, livestock, and field crops. We offer educational classes, electronic and paper resources, and one-on-one consulting.
