Ag Enrollment

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ontario County relies on the support of enrolled farms to underwrite our specialist educators in dairy, vineyard, and vegetable farming. In return, the enrolled farms receive frequent mail and e-mail contacts and direct access to crop, dairy, and livestock advisors backed up by Cornell researchers and hundreds of experts across the country.

To receive an enrollment form: Call (585) 394.3977 x 427 or email: Nancy with your name and address or you can download the forms below.
