Support SWNYDLFC by Supporting your local CCE Association

Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock and Field Crops Program
Support Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops Program by Supporting your local Cornell Cooperative Extension Association!
It's that time of year where your local CCE Association might be seeking sign ups for enrollments, subscriptions, donations, and programs. We'd like to take a moment and highlight how our relationship with our local associations in Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, and Steuben Counties is vital to our program.
SWNYDLFC is a true partnership between Cornell University and the CCE Associations in these five counties: Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, and Steuben. We are funded by our five participating Cornell Cooperative Extension County Associations, federal Smith-Lever capacity funds, and grants and contracts.
So, while our program doesn't collect any direct enrollment/subscription fees, some of our county associations do! By financially supporting your local county association, you're showing a commitment to our program and all of the countless wonderful things CCE does in your community.
If you'd like more information about your county association's efforts, contact your local Executive Director or call Katelyn Walley-Stoll at 716-640-0522. We thank you for your continuous support!
