Ag Development Council plans summit

NORWICH – The Chenango County Agriculture Development Council (CCADC) is pleased to announce it is hosting the fifth Chenango County Ag Summit on Thursday, April 21, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Canasawacta Country Club in Norwich.
The theme for this year’s Ag Summit is “Making Farming Work in Chenango.” The event will open with a talk from Zaid Kurdieh, who is a partner in the successful Norwich Meadows Farm vegetable operation located on Route 23 in Norwich.
The event will feature several area ag producers and farmers that have arrived at a formula for farming or agricultural processing that is profitable for them in Chenango County. Local experts will be on hand to discuss their secrets to success for raising livestock, producing berries, and dairy farming and processing, as well as maple syrup production.
The Ag Summit V luncheon will feature Keynote Speaker Patrick Hooker, Director of Agribusiness Development from Empire State Development. Patrick Hooker was previously the Commissioner of NYS Agriculture & Markets Department. A lunch buffet, featuring local and regional foods from area farmers and producers, will be served. The cost to register for the day is only $7, thanks in part to the generous sponsorships of Agro-Farma, Inc., NBT Bank N.A., Farm Credit East ACA, Commerce Chenango, and Baker’s Maple Products.
The afternoon will feature brainstorming sessions, where farmers and ag producers will have the opportunity to assist CCADC with strategic planning, and suggest projects for the future consideration by the CCADC.
The event will also feature displays and information from partner organizations and local ag experts, such as Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Chenango County Soil & Water Conservation District, The Pomona Grange, the Farm Bureau, and more.
For more information, or to register, please contact Rebecca Daubert at Cornell Cooperative Extension, at 334-5841, x 14, or rad282@cornell.edu.
