Organic Dairy Profit Discussion Group

July 24, 2019


10am - 3pm
Dryden Fire Hall
26 North St, Dryden NY

For more information, contact Mary Kate Wheeler at mkw87@cornell.edu or 509-294-6073.

This will be the very first meeting of a new Organic Dairy Profit Discussion Group. The goal is to form a group of organic dairy producers that will meet twice a year to discuss how management strategies are linked to profitability and other performance measures.

After introductions, this meeting will focus on a summary report of key production and financial indicators drawn from the participating farms' 2018 Dairy Farm Business Summaries. Members will discuss the impacts of management practices on business performance measures. We will provide coffee and lunch!

To participate, the farm needs to have a completed 2018 Dairy Farm Business Summary before the meeting.

If you would like to participate in the discussion group, but have not yet completed the Dairy Farm Business Summary, please contact you local Cornell Cooperative Extension office and ask to be connected with your local Farm Business Management Educator.

This program is a collaboration with PRO-DAIRY and an extension of their existing Dairy Profit Discussion Group program. For more information about Dairy Profit Discussion Groups, visit the PRO-DAIRY website:

Memoir Reading: Barn Gothic

December 4, 2025
Bath, NY

Barn Gothic is an elegy for family farmers and an intimate portrait of three generations laboring to be fathers and sons while their livelihood falls apart. Beautifully told with a farmer's restraint and a poet's grace, it is a story of personal loss amid corporate corruption and of finding a way forward when everything you know disappears.

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.
