Allegany Village recently issued the following announcement
Event: Beginning a Successful Small Farm Operation
When: October 29, 2020
Cornell University Cooperative Extension can offer you the training and resources to select an enterprise suited for success. This introductory course designed for small, part-time or prospective farmers will be held on Thursday evenings, October 8th through the 29th from 6:30-9:00 pm via Zoom.
Topics to be covered: Agriculture 101 is an introduction to agriculture within the region and an overview of agricultural terminology. Since the soil is the foundation of farming, the series continues with the Basics of Soil & Plant Fertility. Basics of Farm Bookkeeping & Taxes introduces participants to sample financial systems available for use and tax related farm issues. Selecting an enterprise without checking the farm resources or marketing opportunities can create a roadblock to success. In the fourth class of the series we take a look at Selecting an Enterprise & Marketing What You Produce.
Pre-registration is required by October 7, 2020; space is limited to allow for interaction and engagement of students. Cost for the workshop is $65 for the series per farm enterprise; $20/individual class. For more information or to pre-register contact Lynn Bliven at lao3@cornell.edu. Once registered you will receive the Zoom link and handout materials for the training. New to Zoom? Don’t let that stop you from registering. We can help you get signed up and familiar with Zoom prior to class.
