GRAIN MARKETER'S An Opportunity

December 6, 2013


To Store or Not to Store? That's the big question that drives post-harvest grain marketing, but you don't need a crystal ball to make an informed decision. By learning to evaluate the post-harvest marketing landscape, you can size-up grain storage opportunities with greater confidence. Presented by Penn State Extension Agricultural Marketing Specialist John Berry. You may remember John presented at our meeting last December. This seminar will enhance participant's market understanding, hone their marketing skills, and build confidence when making grain marketing decisions. All of this is achieved when we start to appreciate the value and ease of marketing actions based on actual market information. This workshop is sponsored by the The New York Corn; Soybean Growers Association. Call Sharon if you would like to car pool (607) 753-5078 or shv7@cornell.edu. For more information contact Janice Degni at (607) 753-5215 or jgd3@cornell.edu.

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.


Spotted Lanternfly

Lycorma delicatula, or Spotted Lanternfly (SLF), is an invasive plant hopper from Asia and is an agricultural pest. In the United States, it was first found in Pennsylvania in 2014. Spotted Lanternfly has been found in New York State on Staten Island, all New York City boroughs, Long Island, Port Jervis, Sloatsburg, Orangeburg, Ithaca, Binghamton, Middletown, Newburgh, Highland, and the Buffalo area. SLF threatens the agriculture and forestry industries, and is also a nuisance pest. The nymphs and adults feed on over 70 different plants, but is especially detrimental to grapes, a black walnut, hops, maple trees and apples. New York State Ag and Markets supported CCE efforts to help bring awareness to communities and we developed this Public Service Announcement and would appreciate you sharing it with your member lists.
