DEC Recertification Credit Information:
Points are given for each event. In order to qualify for DEC credits you must pre-register and:
Provide your applicator ID number with your registration.
IMPORTANT: Take a photo/scan of your applicator ID and email it to cnydlfc@cornell.edu. Please include your name and address. If needed, you can text-to-email your ID photo to the above email address by entering the address in the 'recipient' line of a text message (where you would ordinarily input a phone number or name).
On the day of each event you will be required to attend the virtual meeting using your own device, even if you are in the same location as another viewer. This is important because we need to be able to know who is in attendance. You may log-in to each event as early as 12:30pm.
At the beginning of each event, log-in with your full name and pesticide license number using the DEC check-in link that will be posted in the chat box (again, on your own device that you are using to attend the event). At the end of each event you will be required to sign-out using the DEC check-out link in the chat box. To receive points for a given event, you must log in at the beginning and log out at the end. If you do not log-in and out of the DEC check-in/out link each day, you will not be eligible to receive points.
Sponsors/vendors/agribusiness displays: Follow this link for information on how to be a sponsor for the virtual trade show that will be run through all three events Corn Day, Soybean & Small Grain Summit and the Central New York Dairy Day: https://cnydfc.cce.cornell.edu...

Cash Rent and Custom Harvest Survey
To date, there is limited information available about rental rates and fees for crop harvesting. Farms can use this valuable information for their farm business planning to help improve decision making and profitability.Farmers Can Join MeatSuite For Free!
MeatSuite.com is a free resource provided by Cornell University where NY meat farmers can create a farm profile and list their bulk (wholes, halves, quarters) and bundled (i.e. Grilling Bundle) meat products.Why should farmers join?
1. It's free and easy!
2. Connect with more local customers. In the past year the MeatSuite.com farm directory had 8,300 visits from New York consumers. Farm profiles get as many as 25 views per month from potential local customers. We also spotlight MeatSuite farms on social media and bring attention and purchases to farms through highlights and giveaways.
How do I join?
Farmers can visit https://www.meatsuite.com/farmers/ to create a free farm profile. You must list at least one product for your farm's profile to go live. You'll also have access to Cornell's free Meat Price Calculator, a helpful tool for pricing your meat to make a profit.
While you're on MeatSuite, check out the "Creating Consumer-Friendly Bulk Meats" publication on the log-in page. It has tips on how to create bulk meat products that are easier for first-time buyers to say "yes" to.
If you have any questions as you create your farm profile or products, we're here to help! Please email Matt LeRoux at mnl28@cornell.edu.
