As New York’s largest agricultural sector, the dairy industry is an integral segment of our state’s economy, a major source of job creation in rural communities, and a critical partner in environmental stewardship. I’m proud to support the innovative efforts of Cornell’s PRO-DAIRY program, which has a long history of elevating the needs of our hard-working dairy farmers and delivering the resources to help these majority small and family-owned businesses remain competitive.
 
Michelle Hinchey, Chair, Senate Agriculture Committee
Given the challenges and opportunities facing the dairy industry, Cornell’s PRO-DAIRY program provides access to the resources farmers need to be successful. From help dealing with the effects of climate change, to improving herd health, PRO-DAIRY is developing strategies to boost this important sector of our food economy. I’m happy to support a program that prioritizes the needs of New York’s farmers who have made our state’s dairy industry a national leader.
