The Graze-NY Program is a partnership between Congressman Michael Arcuri, 13 CNY County Soil & Water Conservation Districts, The Natural Resources Conservation Service, Cornell Cooperative Extension, local agriculture agencies and farmers. This green initiative’s mission is to help farm families with the adoption of prescribed grazing management systems that contribute to the financial, environmental and social well-being of local watersheds. The program initially focused on working with dairy farms, but has since expanded to include all livestock.
Graze NY assistance is available in the following counties: Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Otsego, Seneca, Tioga, Tompkins, and Wayne.
GrazeNY partners offer:
educational resources to producers to learn about Prescribed Grazing Management
technical assistance for planning, design and implementation of systems
the needed support for optimum management of established grazing systems
