Free Webinar hosted by CCE Broome
Cornell Cooperative Extension's Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops Program (SWNYDLFC) and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome County are excited to announce a FREE webinar for agricultural landowners and farmland users scheduled for later this month.
"Untangling Land Rental Rates, Ag Districts, and Leasing Considerations" will be held on Wednesday, January 29th at 5:30pm. This is a free webinar hosted by CCE-Broome and presented by SWNYDLFC's Team Leader and Farm Business Management Specialist, Katelyn Walley. Information that will be covered includes:
- negotiating, designing, and delivering a land lease
- determining fair land rental prices
- considering Ag Value Assessment and Ag Districting implications
- addressing questions and concerns from participants
The presenter, Katelyn Walley, has over 10 years of experience working with both farmers and land owners on these complicated topics and will share best management practices that can be implemented for successful rental situations. "Every week I receive multiple phone calls asking about land rental rates, how to lease land, and how to apply for the ag value assessment," says Walley. "This webinar will cover a lot of information in a plain language, easy to understand way that'll be less overwhelming than your typical internet search."

2025 Cornell Food Beverage & Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey
December 19, 2025
Industry and Educational Advocates for New York State's Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturing industries:
As you know, NYS has a diverse food and beverage manufacturing industry, in both the types of industries that exist and the wide distribution of firms by scale. Many manufacturing firms have strong backward linkages to agricultural production sectors in the state that support both farm-level and downstream food industry firms and consumers. In collaboration with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, a team from Cornell University's Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management has recently rolled out the 2025 New York State Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey. The industry will benefit from an updated assessment of the industry that informs private and public investments and opportunities to support firm growth and improved profitability.
