The Feed Dealer Seminars are specifically targeted for nutritionists, veterinarians, crop and management consultants, extension educators, and dairy producers with specific interest in nutrition-oriented topics. Presentations blend the latest concepts in feeding and other management aspects of dairies with field level application.

The 2020 Seminars will be presented virtually via Zoom. All topics will be presented in two sessions to accommodate attendee schedules.

We'll hear from engaging speakers, learn about tools, resources and best practices, we will then discuss how we each relate to these topics. Only farm women are welcome to attend so we can create an atmosphere of comfort in sharing everything we experience and encounter as farm women holding together the farm, family and life. 

There is NO cost to join us for these sessions, but we require registration so we can understand who is joining us for these sessions. 

The 4th Empire State Barley and Malt Summit and will be free for all virtually December 16, 2020!
The Summit will bring together leaders in the New York State malting barley supply chain to provide:

• Research-based technical updates
• Best practices for success
• Supply-chain networking opportunities

The program will include keynote speakers Bart Watson (Economist, Brewer's Association) and Jason Perkins (Founder and Brewer of Allagash Brewing) to discuss the state of craft brewing from local ingredients from national and Northeast regional perspectives. In addition a panel of New York State Brewers will discuss their approaches to using local ingredients, what they want in malt characteristics, and how they market all New York ingredient brews to their consumers.

The afternoon program will include updates from value chain sectors, to include technical updates from Cornell and Hartwick researchers and Extension agronomists. Of particular excitement this year will be the official naming of the new spring malting barley variety, developed through Cornell's Born, Bred, and Brewed in NY barley breeding program! The Honorable Commissioner of NYS Dept. of Agriculture and Markets, Richard Ball, will announce the winning name.

Thank you to all the sponsors, with your generous sponsorship we are able to offer these upcoming sessions for FREE.
