As we begin 2023, we are not expecting fertilizer and nutrient shortages to disrupt crop planning as they did last year, but fertilizer prices continue to be very high.  This series of webinars is designed to help farms and producers to accurately assess fertilizer needs and to manage for optimal nutrient efficiency to minimize fertilizer purchases.

Cornell Cooperative Extension Dairy Specialists and Cornell PRO-DAIRY are excited to offer a hands-on dairy calving and dystocia workshop across the state in English and Spanish.

Knowing the stages of labor and recognizing when a cow needs assistance are important skills. This workshop will educate attendees on those skills and will include a hands-on experience with a life size model of a cow ready to calve along with her calf. Attendees will be able to practice a variety of dystocia situations. There are 2 sites in Northern NY, with the same program offered each day (in both languages both days). The cost is $75, which includes lunch and all materials. Pre-registration is required and registration is limited to the first 7 English and 7 Spanish participants per day.
