Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County, in collaboration with the Oswego County Soil and Water Conservation District, USDA Farm Service Agency, and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, will be sponsoring a free workshop for agriculture producers on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The four agencies that serve the farmers and residents in Oswego County will be hosting the 6th Ag Agency Awareness Day at the Mexico VFW, located at 5390 Scenic Avenue (State Route 3), just north of the Village of Mexico, N.Y. This program is primarily geared towards beginning farmers and other agricultural producers who are looking for information on how to improve or expand their agriculture businesses. Federal and NYS programs will be discussed, including some cost share programs. There is no cost to attend this event, but registration is required by 4 p.m. on Friday, March 31, 2023. Lunch will be provided for free for those who register, courtesy of CCE Oswego and the Soil & Water Conservation District. The event is partially funded by the Finger Lakes-Lake Ontario Watershed Protection Alliance.
