Due to our farmers’ commitment to animal care, workforce development, and environmental stewardship, there are exciting opportunities ahead with investments in dairy production. We must ensure family dairy farms of all sizes can continue to grow and be successful here in NY.
Our family farms take pride in providing food for our neighbors across the state, country, and internationally. We fight food insecurity. In fact, during the pandemic we gathered and delivered food donations for @jessicaramosqns district in NYC for months.
Family dairy farms strive to provide the best care for their cows; their livelihoods depend on it. They partner with licensed veterinarians and cattle nutritionists, and track cow health using the latest technology to ensure they are comfortable and healthy.

Our farms are required to hire state certified, third-party professionals to develop nutrient management plans and implement BMPs that help protect our natural resources. Hear from certified planner, Patty Larkin:
