The focus of the AMS Discussion Group is to allow AMS owners and managers to share current AMS management strategies with each other in order to improve AMS efficiencies, profitability, and sustainability. There will be a topic of discussion and short presentation for each meeting, but the main portion of each discussion group will be the interaction between AMS owners and managers.

This group meeting will focus on daily AMS task efficiency, facilitated by Margaret Quaassdorff of the NWNY Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops Team with Cornell Cooperative Extension.  

The meeting will start with supper at 5:30, and discussion from 6-8pm.  Fee is $15 per person and includes meal and materials.
