Opportunities and Pitfalls of Managing and Feeding Cows in Automatic Milking Systems
Wednesday, April 6, 2022
12 to 1:30 p.m. ET
Live webinar
The adoption of an automated milking system (AMS) - more commonly known as robotic milkers - is increasing exponentially worldwide, mainly due to increased labor costs and interest in expanding the use of technology in production systems. The success of AMS management relies heavily on feed management and strategies that can maximize cow traffic, production, and health at the lowest possible cost. Because AMS is a relatively new technology, information on the best feed management and systems to optimize performance and maximize profitability are updated frequently.
To talk with us and share the most recent high-quality research information on nutrition and feed management for dairy cows in AMS, we brought together two researchers' experts in AMS, Dr. Gregory Penner, and MSc. James Salfer, for a webinar on April 6, 2022, at noon (ET).
Each of our speakers will give a 25-minute presentation about management strategies and insights into feeding cows in automated milking systems; after that, we will have an open space for attendees to share their experiences and questions to learn more about feeding AMS managed cows during a 20-minute Q&A section.?
The webinar is free and open to anyone interested in learning more about feeding and managing cows in AMS. Registration is required and will be accepted until April 5th at 11:59 p.m. ET. Participants will receive the Zoom webinar URL after their registration is confirmed. A recording of the webinar will be made available to registered participants.
The webinar: Opportunities and pitfalls of managing and feeding cows in automatic milking systems is a collaborative extension program of Michigan State University Extension and the Cornell Cooperative Extension SWNY Dairy, livestock, and field crops program.
COST: FREE

Is Grazing Sheep Beneath Solar Arrays and Opportunity for Your Future?
September 25, 2023
Mt. Morris, NY
Grazing sheep beneath utility-scale solar arrays can build wealth of present and future sheep farmers as vegetation management service providers and access to additional pasture. The Cornell Cooperative Enterprise Program (CEP) conducted a survey earlier this year completed by over 600 farmers. Farmers identified barriers to grazing sheep under solar arrays and weighed in on need for a producer-led organization to negotiate contracts on their behalf, coordinate logistics of multiple flocks, provide transport of sheep to and from the site, care for sheep while on-site, and provide supplemental mowing. Additional questions focused on processing and marketing needs.

Protecting Against Murphy's Law: A FREE Live Seminar for Veterans.
October 4, 2023
What Can Go Wrong, Will Go Wrong!
Good ole' Murphy's Law is probably the best description of what it's like to be a farmer that there is! Join Cornell Cooperative Extension Farm Business Management Specialist, Katelyn Walley-Stoll, to learn more about the 5 areas of risk on farms and how to develop strategies to manage those risks. Participants will have the opportunity to identify areas of risk on their own farms and brainstorm ways to (try to) prevent the inevitable!
