FARM Program Continuing Education Articles in Spanish By Lindsay Ferlito 

Version 4.0 of the National Dairy FARM Program is in effect January 1, 2020, to June 30, 2024. One of the changes to this version is the requirement of training and continuing education for employees as well as family member employees and owners. Version 4.0 requires annual continuing education in animal care and handling for anybody with animal care responsibilities, and job-specific training for the following topics if they apply:  

  1. Stockmanship
  2. Pre-weaned calf care
  3.  Non-ambulatory animals
  4. Euthanasia 
  5. Determining if animals are fit to transport 

In 2020, the CCE NCRAT Dairy Specialists wrote an article covering each of these five topic (https://ncrat.cce.cornell.edu/...). Recently, Dr. Kaitlyn Lutz, the Bilingual Dairy Management Specialist on the CCE NWNY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Team, translated these articles to Spanish.

1. Capacitación en el Manejo del Ganado con Curt Pate: Todo es Acerca de la Presión  https://ncrat.cce.cornell.edu/... 

2. Principios Básicos del Cuidado de Becerros en el Predestete: Calostro y Calorías https://ncrat.cce.cornell.edu/... 

3. Manejo Apropiado de Animales No Ambulatorios https://ncrat.cce.cornell.edu/... 

4. Prácticas Adecuadas para la Eutanasia https://ncrat.cce.cornell.edu/... 

5. Determinación de Aptitud para el Transporte Animal https://ncrat.cce.cornell.edu/...

2025 Cornell Food Beverage & Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey

December 19, 2025

Industry and Educational Advocates for New York State's Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturing industries:

As you know, NYS has a diverse food and beverage manufacturing industry, in both the types of industries that exist and the wide distribution of firms by scale. Many manufacturing firms have strong backward linkages to agricultural production sectors in the state that support both farm-level and downstream food industry firms and consumers. In collaboration with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, a team from Cornell University's Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management has recently rolled out the 2025 New York State Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey. The industry will benefit from an updated assessment of the industry that informs private and public investments and opportunities to support firm growth and improved profitability.
