SCNY Dairy Manager Discussion Group Tour to WNY

February 13, 2018

SCNY Dairy Manager Discussion Group Tour to WNY

The SCNY Dairy Manager's Discussion Group will be joining with the NWNY Dairy Manager's Discussion Group for a tour at El-Vi Farm in Newark, NY.  El-Vi has a new transition cow barn they will be showing, and managers that tour will have a chance to see any other portion of the operation they are interested in.  As a focus for the tour, the group will be asked to put on their "manager" hats and assess the farm for strengths and opportunities.  After lunch, the group will discuss these findings with farm owners.  

If interested, you MUST contact Betsy Hicks to be included.  As we approach the date, final details for car pooling and rides will be ironed out.  Please call Betsy Hicks for more information at 607.391.2673 or email at bjh246@cornell.edu.  We're looking forward to the date!

**Lunch will be at the Blue Ribbon Diner, we ask you to cover your own lunch**
No fee for coming to the tour!
