Organic Farmer-to-Farmer Meetings
The New York Certified Organic (NYCO) dairy and field crops
farmer-to-farmer meetings will finally return to the Jordan Hall auditorium on
the Cornell AgriTech campus in Geneva. The meetings had been held in this
location for many years, but COVID-19 forced the group to try alternate formats
the past few years. There will be two meetings this year - February 14
will be focused on dairy and March 14 will be focused on field crops. Both
meetings will run from 9am to 1pm and participants are encouraged to bring a
dish to pass for lunch. The meetings are free to attend and all farmers are
welcome.
