Cornell Cooperative Extension and Cornell PRO-DAIRY are excited to offer a sponsorship opportunity for our upcoming Dairy "Technology Tuesdays" webinar series. This seven-part webinar series offers cutting edge information about dairy technology from industry experts. There will be excellent information those who are thinking about incorporating technology and those that already have implemented new technology.

Join us for the main dairy program offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension this winter in Jefferson and Lewis Counties. This 1-day seminar will provide the latest information on dairy production and management including talks on milk quality, labor and workforce development, milk prices and markets, and local research updates.

Attend this 2-day training course to become trained in dairy reproduction and artificial breeding techniques. There will be classroom sessions in the morning, followed by hands-on practice on farm in the afternoon. After this class you will be trained to artificially inseminate dairy cattle.

As we begin 2023, we are not expecting fertilizer and nutrient shortages to disrupt crop planning as they did last year, but fertilizer prices continue to be very high.  This series of webinars is designed to help farms and producers to accurately assess fertilizer needs and to manage for optimal nutrient efficiency to minimize fertilizer purchases.

Farms of ALL SIZES are invited to attend.  Light refreshments provided.
