CNY Dairy & Field Crops Team

The Central NY Dairy & Field Crops Program serves Chenango, Fulton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Otsego, Saratoga and Schoharie Counties to help producers meet their goals and enhance dairy farm profitability to maintain a strong dairy industry in the region.

The Central NY Dairy and Field Crops Program works with farmers on:

• Forage Quality
• Integrated Crop Management
• Water Quality & Environmental Compatibility with Crops
• Dairy Enterprise Performance & Management
• Dairy Replacement Enterprise
• Dairy Feeds and Feeding
• Dairy Livestock Environments
• Intensive Management Grazing
• Small farm technologies
• Direct Marketing & On-farm Processing

Dairy farms dominate the farm landscape, and they account for 2/3 to 3/4 of the farm sales in the region. Abundant natural rainfall and a great tradition of dairy farming makes the Northeast an important dairy-producing area of the country.

This program is supported by Cornell University and the Cornell Cooperative Extension Associations of Chenango, Fulton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Saratoga and Schoharie and Otsego Counties.
