We need your help! Prioritize projects to support small farms!

Every two years, farmers and agriculture service providers gather at the NY Small Farm Summit to prioritize research and education activities that will promote the viability of small farms in NY. This year, we will host the 4th NY Small Farm Summit on February 29, 2012. Our goal for the Summit is to identify what investments need to be made over the next 5 years to best support and strengthen small farms in NY.
To do this, we need your help!
Please tell us what you believe are the emerging opportunities that could enhance viability of small farms in NY. Take the ‘bird’s eye’ view, and consider how you would prioritize investment not only for your own farm or business, but for your community and colleagues.
Click here: https://cornell.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bxrjyekn3mqaUy8 to respond to the survey. Your participation is completely voluntary. We value your opinion and hope that you might take 10 minutes to share your thoughts. The deadline to reply is February 26th.
The information gathered in this survey will be compiled and shared with attendees at the NY Small Farm Summit, to assist with creating regional and statewide action plans. If you would like to join us for the Summit, please contact your nearest site host using the information below.
