Cornell Cooperative Extension-Albany and the Capital Area Agriculture & Horticulture Program are pleased to announce an upcoming series of Farmer Discussion Meetings, to be held in Albany, Rensselaer, Greene, Columbia and Washington Counties on various dates.
We will get together over lunch (provided free).

Afterward, Sandy Buxton will lead a discussion about how to estimate farm machinery costs to make better decisions about repairing/renting/purchasing machinery. Pesticide credit requested.
