Optimizing the Economic Return of Pasture-Raised Slow-Growth and Conventional Broilers - Webinar



Optimizing the Economic Return of Pasture-Raised Slow-Growth and Conventional Broilers - Webinar

Over the past three years, Cornell Cooperative Extension has worked with nearly 40 small farmers across NYS to gather information on the true costs of raising broilers (meat chickens) on pasture. This presentation is a summary of the findings of this research project. 


We will share:

- Statewide averages and benchmarks for both raising and selling meat chickens

- Common pitfalls when it comes to being profitable

- The performance metrics for Cornish Cross and Slow Growth broilers raised on pasture

- Evidence-based suggestions to improve both performance and profitability


This event is free to attend, but registrations are required using the link at the top of this page. A recording will be available and sent out to all registrants.

This program was developed as part of work supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, through the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program under subaward number LNE22-435.

NY Small Farms Summit 2025: Stronger Together

December 5, 2025
Alfred, NY

We hope you will join us on December 5th for the 2025 New York Small Farms Summit! This is an opportunity to meet other farmers and ag supporters, learn about research and education projects, and set priorities for future efforts to grow small farm success.

At the Allegany County site, we will focus on giving trees a chance and how trees build resiliency on small farms. Whether attracted to fruit, nuts, vegetables, fodder or shade, trees can be an integral part of a successful farming system. Join us as we explore the opportunities for resiliency that come from adding tree crops or managing wooded areas of your farm for agroforestry or silvopasture systems.
