CCE NYS Pastured Broiler Survey
Amy Barkley, Livestock Specialist
Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock and Field Crops Program

Cornell Cooperative Extension is surveying farms who raise or are planning to raise pastured broilers in NYS. We want to gauge the average understanding of budgeting and costs of production. This data will help us develop programing to help improve the sustainability and profitability of producing pasture-raised broilers.
The anonymous survey can be accessed at https://cornell.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2atyNUBmyRFOkom and will take between 3-5 minutes to complete. Thank you so much for your participation! Please feel free to contact Amy Barkley, Livestock and Beginning Farm Specialist at 716-640-0844 or amb544@cornell.edu with any questions or concerns.
