Webinar: Converting Old Dairy Barns into swine Facilities

As we continue to see transitions away from traditionally small dairies across the state, we have identified opportunities to rethink the interior design of these barns to be more suitable for other livestock. Tim Terry, Strategic Planning Specialist with Cornell University's Pro-Dairy Team will be speaking on repurposing these facilities in order to most successfully raise hogs. Considerations that will be highlighted include flooring, ventilation, lighting, and efficiency of design.
This webinar will be shared on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 from 6pm - 7:30pm. The webinar is free to attend, and open to all.

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.
