More than 60% of the county’s agriculture is dairy. Forages form the basis of its competitive position. Nutrition, reproduction, young stock, milk quality, dairy records, and engineering are all components of a successful business. In the past 10 years, NYS has increased production 13%, Rensselaer County farms have increased 52% due to the intensive Extension training programs and the Dairy Farm Business Summary which formulates a plan to advance for each participating farm. |
