The Central NY Dairy Girl Network will meet on August 26 from 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm. Please join us. This group brings dairy women together to build camaraderie, share ideas, experience and learn from each other. The meeting will be held at Rawley Park, located at 13334 NYS Route 38, Richford.
We will build Vision Boards at this meeting. This is an exercise to help you define what is important to you and unleash your dreams for your life. We all get buried in our day-to-day responsibilities and sometimes find ourselves in a rut. For the creation of your board, you will draw from your core values and what you want more of in life. This fun, lighthearted activity frees your inner artist and provides a moment to realign with your hopes and dreams. The posters you create will be a reminder of your goals.
We will start with lunch, which is on your own. You can pack your lunch or purchase at nearby businesses at the four corners in Richford. There is a Subway in the Mirabito gas station and a pizza place in the plaza! Dessert will be provided.

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.
