“From young people just starting their careers to people who have been farmers their entire lives, the group in attendance at today’s workshop was as diverse as the agriculture industry itself,” said Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Senator Patty Ritchie.

“I’m thrilled that along with the Jefferson County Agricultural Development Council, we were able to provide agribusiness owners with vital information they need to expand their businesses, create jobs and benefit the region’s economy as a result of their efforts.”

Held at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County, the free event offered information on funding opportunities in a variety of areas including wineries, cider and craft brewing, dairy profit teams, research and development grants, energy efficiency and USDA grants and loans.
