College of Agriculture & Life Sciences' PRO-DAIRY program.

Educational programs and individual assistance cover a wide area of best management practices and as well as farm business management. For dairy farms, a bilingual dairy specialist provides producers with employee training and human resource facilitation in Spanish. Educational and support venues range from individual farm management team meetings and troubleshooting to multi-day classroom and hands-on training, and from ongoing farmer group discussion meetings to thematic day-long symposia. Through field demonstrations and applied research, team specialists help the regions producers to evaluate up and coming practices and technologies.

The Northwest New York Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops is supported, in part, by county Cornell Cooperative Extensions including: Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Niagara, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates Counties.
