2007 NYS Small Farms Summit Scheduled for Nov 29
We are pleased to announce that the 2007 NYS Small Farms Summit will be held at four videolinked locations on November 29. Our purpose for this gathering is to reflect on key opportunities and strategic investments to enhance small farm viability in NYS, as described in the Report and Recommendations from the 2006 NYS Small Farm Summit (available online at www.smallfarms.cornell.edu.)
Discussion will focus on progress to date and future plans for addressing four priority opportunity areas identified in the report:
As in 2006 we will bring together a large group of farmers, researchers, extension educators, NYS agency representatives and NGO leaders at four locations across the state, linked by videoconference. The meeting will take place from 10AM to 3PM in 300 Rice Hall on the Cornell Campus, as well as at sites in Belmont, Malone, and Voorheesville, NY. Lunch will be provided. If you are interested in participating in the Summit, contact Joanna Green at 607-255-9227 or jg16@cornell.edu.

Governor signs Executive Order Creating Council on Food Policy
Council Will Coordinate Policies to Promote Agriculture, Health and Nutrition
Governor Eliot Spitzer announced that he has signed an executive order establishing a New York State Council on Food Policy. The Council will coordinate state agriculture policy and make recommendations on developing food policy that will help ensure the availability of safe, fresh, nutritious and affordable food for all New Yorkers, especially low income residents, senior citizens and children. The Council will look at ways to increase sales of New York agricultural products to New York consumers, with a special emphasis on expanding the consumer market for organic food.
Ensuring that all New Yorkers have access to safe, fresh and nutritious food is a top priority that the Council on Food Policy will be addressing head-on, said Governor Spitzer. The Council will bring the public, producers and government together to explore ways in which we can improve our existing food production and delivery systems, expand capacity, and in particular, address the critical needs of children and low-income New Yorkers. Additionally, by expanding the sale of locally grown products, we can help struggling farmers, and expand the local agriculture and state
economy.
In addition to coordinating food policy, the Council will develop a strategic plan to ensure access to affordable, fresh, healthy, nutritious food and expand agricultural production, especially locally-grown and organically-grown food. The sale of organic food is an emerging market, with more than $13 billion spent on organic food in 2005

Commissioner Announces State’s New Organic Initiative
New Organic Specialist on Staff; New Organic Resource Center on Website
New York State Agriculture Commissioner Patrick Hooker announced a new initiative within the Department that will focus on organic farming. In response to the increasing demand for organic products and the marketing opportunity for New York farmers, the Department has added a full-time organic agriculture specialist position, and has added a new section to the Department's website, Organic Farming Resource Center.
"There is a tremendous demand for organic products in the marketplace today, presenting a viable opportunity for some farmers," the Commissioner said. "Therefore, we have made the resources available for farmers, so that if they wish to, they can learn more about organic production methods and tap into this rapidly growing market."
Starting in March 2007, Sarah Johnston joined the Department as an Organic Agriculture Specialist. Johnston is the former Executive Director of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York and has an extensive background in environmental issues. Her responsibilities at the Department are to develop and execute new initiatives to expand and support organic agriculture in New York State. Currently, Johnston has been working with producers to create a priority list of organic research needs and has successfully created the Organic Farming Resource Center, new to the Department's website, www.agmkt.state.ny.us
The Department website now includes a dozen new pages of information on organic farming. The Organic Farming Resource Center, found at www.agmkt.state.ny.us/AP/organic/, features how to become certified organic, marketing opportunities in New York, organic production, finding organic products in the marketplace, general consumer information on organic labels and production, a list of related organic associations and activities, as well as resource lists that offer websites, studies and other useful information pertaining to organic agriculture. These pages put useful web-based information on organic farming in one easy to access location.
New York State ranks among the top ten states in the country in the number of organic farms. In 2006, there were nearly 600 certified organic farms in New York State with nearly 70,000 acres in production. Organic dairy farms are the largest segment of the organic farm community in New York State. In addition, there were more than 100 organic food processors in the State.
We are highlighting these events because of the importance of grazing to our dairy and livestock audience. Please see the Graze NY! Website for a complete listing of pasture walks and grazing workshops.

The Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program offers three different competitive grant programs, all with application deadlines in the late fall and early winter. These grants are capped at $10,000 and should offer innovative approaches to sustainable agriculture.
Farmer grants are for commercial farmers who would like to explore a new practice or idea, often by conducting an experiment, trial, or on-farm demonstration. Projects can explore a wide range of topics such as pest management, soil health, adding value, marketing, or new production techniques, and funds can be used to pay for the farmer's time and for materials specific to the project. The application deadline is December 18.
Partnership Grants are for Cooperative Extension, NRCS, and other agricultural professionals who work directly with farmers. Partnership Grants support on-farm research and demonstration projects in sustainable agriculture, and funds can be used to pay for personnel, materials, sampling, supplies, testing, and to compensate cooperating farmers for their time. The application deadline is December 4.
Sustainable Community grants are for projects that connect farming and rural economic development. Projects can address issues like finance, marketing, land and water use, enterprise development, adding value to farm products, or farm labor. Applicants must be affiliated with an organization such as a community nonprofit, Cooperative Extension, local government, an educational institution, a planning board, a farming cooperative, or an incorporated citizens' group. This grant is offered in partnership with the Northeast Center for Rural Development, and the
application deadline is November 27.
Applications are posted on the Northeast SARE web site at www.uvm.edu/~nesare, or call 802/656-0471 to request a printed copy. The Northeast SARE region is made up of Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

USDA on Wednesday announced the availability of $1 million to defray annual organic certification costs in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming.
This funding is particularly important to smaller producers so that they can meet the voluntary uniform standards set forth by the National Organic Program.
The Agricultural Management Assistance Program will allocate funds to the 15 states in proportion to the number of organic producers in each state. The states, in turn, will reimburse each eligible producer for up to 75 percent of its organic certification costs, not to exceed $500. Each state is allowed to retain 4 percent of the total amount granted as an administration fee. This program is separate from the National Organic Certification Cost Share Program.
In a news release, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns noted that the 2007 Farm Bill proposal recommends that this program be re-authorized and expanded to include all 50 states and permit producers and handlers to be eligible as well as increase the cost-share reimbursement.USDA Announces Sustainable Operations Council
Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns recently announced the creation of the USDA Sustainable Operations Council for efficient and effective use of USDA's energy and resources. "This new council helps all USDA's employees work together to operate, promote and use sustainable operating practices so we save energy and practice effective use of our resources," said Johanns. Additional information about USDA's Sustainable Operations can be found at www.greening.usda.gov.
Up to $25,000 for Towns & Cities to Develop Ag & Farmland Protection Plans
New York State Agriculture Commissioner Patrick Hooker announced that municipalities will soon be able to apply for funding to help develop local agricultural and farmland protection plans. This is the first time that towns and cities will be eligible to apply for farmland protection planning grants; only counties have been eligible in the past. "Home rule is the cornerstone of land use planning in New York State," the Commissioner said. "One of the most important duties granted by the legislature to a municipal government is the authority to undertake comprehensive planning and to regulate land use. Local government can play a vital role in farmland protection by creating a supportive business environment for agriculture by insuring that comprehensive plans and land use regulations contain clear language and explicit policies that are supportive of the local agriculture industry."
The purpose of this grant program is to provide an economic incentive to municipalities to develop local agricultural and farmland protection plans that will maintain the economic viability of the State's agricultural industry and its supporting land base and to protect the environmental and landscape preservation values associated with agriculture.
Municipalities, including cities, towns and villages that are located within a county which has established an agricultural and farmland protection board will be eligible to submit an application. Interested municipalities will be eligible for grants up to $25,000 or 75 percent of the cost of developing a local protection plan, which ever is less.
Eligible plans should identify the location of farmland proposed to be protected, the value of that land to the local economy, the value of that land as open space, consequences of possible conversion, and the level of conversion pressure on the proposed land.
A copy of the Municipal Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan Development Request for Application (RFA) will be made available on the Department's website at www.agmkt.state.ny.us under "Funding Opportunities" on Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Grants will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis.
To further assist in protecting farmland, the State's Farmland Protection Program also provides financial assistance to municipalities to support local farmland protection plans and purchase the development rights on viable farmland. Awards are made based on whether lands are facing significant development pressure, if the lands serve as a buffer to significant public resources, the total number of acres to be preserved, and the long-term potential for the land to remain in production agriculture.
Patrick Hooker, Commissioner of NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets, has announced the second round of the NYS Agri-tourism Grant Program Request for Proposals (RFP). Individuals, public and private agencies and organizations, business and industry, educational institutions and local governments are eligible to apply for matching grants of up to $50,000.
Eligible projects will involve the development, implementations, or expansion of programs, projects, activities, or events which will promote New York State food and agriculture by attracting visitors to NYS food and agriculture related destinations. Traditional, as well as innovative, agri-tourism programs, projects, and activities that will promote and enhance the publics understanding, awareness, and appreciation of this important economic sector will be considered.
The RFP can be downloaded from www.agmkt.state.ny.us/RFPS.html. To reach the RFP, click on the Funding Opportunities section on the left side of the Departments home page, then click on New York State Agri-tourism Grant Program. Proposals for funding must be received by the Department before 4:30pm EST on Tuesday, October 30, 2007. If you prefer to receive a hard copy of the RFP, please contact Meg McCabe mailto:meg.mccabe@agmkt.state.ny.us or

As more farms turn to multi-media for marketing their products, You Tube, a self broadcast site on the web, offers a no-cost outlet for getting your farm video out to the public. At the Small Farms Program, we received permission to share this You Tube example featuring a maple syrup operation in Sullivan County, NY:

The Pond Guidebook is a new publication, with of practical insights, remedies, and management tips about large ponds. It addresses key topics like pond water chemistry, pond construction, safety, aquatic weed management options, pond fish selection and stocking, dealing with nuisance wildlife, enhancing ponds with vegetation, beach construction, leaking ponds, and more.
Most pond owners get their information from their neighbors or the Internet, both of which have useful stuff to share, but the details are all too often mishandled. This publication is based on research, the input from dozens of professionals, and our years of pond-side experience in the Northeast. Most extension educators will find this a handy reference to distribute to pond owners in their counties by request or at pond management workshops. Length: 78 pages; graphics: 62 photos and illustrations
Three of the four authors are Cornell Cooperative Extension personnel: Jim Ochterski (Extension educator), Cliff Kraft (associate professor of fishery and aquatic sciences, Department of Natural Resources, Cornell University), and Rebecca Schneider (associate professor and Department Extension Leader, Department of Natural Resources Extension, Cornell University); Bryan Swistock (water resources specialist in the College of Agricultural Sciences, School of Forest Resources, at Penn State University) also contributed significantly to the book.

SSAWG Releases Cheese Production and Marketing Video
The Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group recently released a new video in their series, "Natural Farming Systems in the South." Artisan Cheese Production and Marketing features Jessica and Jeremy Little, owners of Sweet Grass Dairy. This video provides information about start-up and development of a handcrafted cheese enterprise.
In this section we highlight the Small Farms Program's activities, including projects we coordinate and those we have funded through Innovative Small Farm Education grants to Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) educators.
The Cornell Small Farms Program is pleased to announce its 2007-8 grant awards for innovative small farm education. These grants are made available to Cornell Cooperative Extension educators with creative program ideas that specifically target local small farm businesses and the families who live and work on these farms.
