Local governments have an important role in creating "farm-friendly" land use policies to ensure viability for farms and the agricultural economy. The Onondaga County's Agriculture + Farmland Protection Plan planning team has assembled a set of tools for municipalities to assess your local plans, zoning, subdivision, and farmland protection program for ag-friendly best practices. This webinar will introduce the Farm-Friendly Toolbox, including topics of local interest and best practices from communities in New York State, and answer questions from participants. Monday, October 25, 2021 3:00-4:30pm Via Zoom Please use this link to register, and a zoom meeting link will be emailed to you. Please also feel free to share this invitation to others who may be interested. The final toolbox will also be posted to our Plan website at agriculture.ongov.net, where you can also sign up for email updates, hear about upcoming events, and see plan components as they are posted over the coming months. 2020 DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT AVAILABLE

What Does Dumping Milk Mean?
What can we do to help? Imagine this. You wake up one morning and head to work which happens to be at the end of your driveway in the barn on the farm that your great-grandfather bought generations ago. You walk into the barn and see some of your hard-working staff milking cows so you head to the barn office and plan your day ahead. Your phone rings. It’s your milk processor where your milk is delivered every single day. They tell you that they won’t be coming to pick up your milk today.
