Starting a Livestock Farm Workshop Series

February 24 - March 10, 2021

Starting a Livestock Farm Workshop Series

There are many aspects to consider when starting a livestock farm, such as land, what to sell, and how to sell it. Cornell Cooperative Extension's Specialists Nancy Glazier and Joan Sinclair Petzen are offering a beginning farmer educational series via Zoom beginning 7:00-8:30 pm February 24.

The two sessions will cover resource assessment, business planning, basic bookkeeping, and budgeting. Time will be available each evening for discussion.

The cost of the workshops is $20 per person or farm couple. Pre-registration for the first session is required by February 17, 2021.
