NEW YORK STATE (September 28, 2011) – Cornell Cooperative Extension, in cooperation with the New York Farm Bureau and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has established the CCE Forage Exchange to assist farmers affected by the recent flooding. It can be reached via the front page of the Main Cornell Cooperative Extension webpage at http://cce.cornell.edu.           

The Forage Exchange provides an electronic venue for farmers who have available feed and forage to post it, and for farmers who need it to locate it. All transactions (including making arrangements for transportation) will take place between the farmers themselves.

Cooperative Extension Educators and Farm Bureau staff across the state will be available to assist farmers in using the exchange.
