Three members of the Cornell Small Farms Program’s Futuro en Ag team were guests on WRFI’s Spanish-language radio program, “Alcance Latino,” broadcast over the airwaves on 88.1 FM in Ithaca, NY and on the internet.

Our own Mildred Alvarado, María José Oviedo, and Tim W. Shenk joined host Carlos Gutiérrez for the May 8, 2024, broadcast.

The Futuro en Ag team spoke about educational opportunities for Spanish-speaking farmers and aspiring farmers in New York State, as well as barriers to entry into farm ownership for the Latinx community.

Hear more about our work by listening to the recording (in Spanish) online.
