Cornell Cooperative Extension's 4-H program is offering a workshop for teens thinking about a career in dairy.  The "hands-on" workshop is for 14-19 year olds, and has a limited class size of 60.  This year's program is about Calf and Heifer Management.

Seems appropriate on "National Agriculture Day" to talk about funding to expand your farm or start one from scratch.  The USDA is holding a workshop on how to get financial assistance.

Another sure sign spring is nearing, the annual Maple Celebration.  The FFA chapter at VVS Central Schools will be celebrating Maple Weekend.  Pancake breakfasts, tours and the crowning of the Maple Queen and Princess all happen over the next two weekends.
