Sorry, the opportunity to sponsor this event has passed.

We will again have our traditional agribusiness trade show. Exhibit tables will be available for you that are covered with a white tablecloth. The tables are 6 feet by 2.5 feet. Electrical outlets are available, but be prepared to run an extension cord in some instances. The room will be set up some time during the night before, so you may set up your exhibit anytime after 7:00 a.m. on the morning of March 12th as long as you are completely set up by 10:00 a.m. The trade show opens at 10:00 a.m.

Some of you folks and/or your employees have PAS certification with ARPAS (American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists). As an added bonus this event has been approved for 2 PAS continuing education credits. Events like the annual Cornell Nutrition Conference are approved for credits. This program provides another opportunity for those credits to be earned.

The fee to have an exhibit at the trade show will be $100. 

When paying online, please scan your business card and email it to herkimer@cornell.edu or you may mail it to the above address.

Your exhibitor's fee does not include registration for the program. You and any of your staff that attend will need to register (use the registration form in the enclosed announcement) by filling out the registration form and enclosing $30 per person. (Or, register online.) To guarantee your listing in the program, please return this form by March 6, 2019 to be a Central New York Dairy Day Sponsor.

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.
