BQA in a Day

September 19, 2015

BQA in a Day

BQA is a national program for beef producers that provides science based management practices that enhance carcass quality and safety and improve animal care. BQA works to return more profits to producers and to protect consumer confidence in our beef supply. The BQA program is producer based, voluntary and locally led. In NYS it is coordinated through a combined effort of the New York Beef Council, Cornell University and the New York Beef Producers' Association.
 
Participation allows beef producers to complete most of the requirements for certification and qualifies for recertification. Being held at Runnings trainers and sponsors will be available to speak with the public regarding the proper care and management of beef cattle.

This special event is sponsored by Runnings, Boehringer-Ingelheim, Merck, Merial, and Zoetis.

The event is free but registration is required. Only those registered will be guaranteed lunch. BQA manuals will be available to purchase for $10.

October is BQA month in New York. Many trainings are planned. For details or more information contact the NY Beef Council at 315.339.6922 or email cgillis@nybeef.org. Details for trainings can also be found on the New York Beef Council website www.nybeef.org in the Cattlemen's Corner.

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.
