SCNY Dairy Manager Discussion Group Tours

March 20, 2018


The SCNY Dairy Manager's Discussion Group will be joining with the NWNY Dairy Manager's Discussion Group for a tour at two farms: Lincoln Dairy in Auburn and Twin Birch Dairy in Skaneateles.  Managers that tour will have a chance to see any 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. 

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!

There is no cost for the tours.
