We went virtual in January 2021
Recordings will be posted below as they become available.
Same great information, now more flexible attendance options! There are multiple (and new) learning tracks to chose from including Dairy, Livestock, Grazing, Vegetables, Flowers, Energy, Honey, and Marketing. Agricultural experts, industry professionals and recognized speakers will be presenting timely information that you can’t afford to miss. While content focuses on farming in Delaware County and the greater Catskill region; some topics may be applicable to a wider audience. We hope you will join us.
New: Our conference was hosted through Sched this year. This handy tool allows you to view speaker bios, presentation descriptions, book mark sessions, access webinar recordings and handouts if you missed a session. We hope you will find it handy and helpful!
