Topics:

1. Agriculture and Weather Extremes: How Can We Adapt?  How do we Work with Public Policy? | Mr. Greg Albrecht, Agricultural Environmental Management (AEM) Coordinator, NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets, NYS Soil and Water Conservation Committee

Many of the practices and management farmers deploy with their herds and crops for production efficiency also benefit the environment and a farm’s preparedness for more extreme weather. This presentation will highlight opportunities to continue that progress, how those practices align with water quality and climate goals, and funding for technical assistance and practice implementation through your local Soil and Water Conservation District’s Agricultural Environmental Management (AEM) program.
