Calling All Landowners!
The annual Opt-in Period for the Franklin County Agricultural District is March 1-30th annually. Cornell Cooperative Extension on behalf of the Franklin County Agriculture & Farmland Protection Board (AFPB) is now accepting opt-in worksheets for inclusion in the Franklin County Ag District.

This year we are providing farmers with the option of submitting their information through an online form. Getting Ready: Before your start, be certain you have the correct tax parcel identification numbers for land you own, rent to or from other landowners you would like to include in the agricultural district.

Click on Franklin County Ag District Online Form to start filing in your information now.

If you would rather fill in the form by hand and mail a copy to us, we have provided a pdf copy of the electronic form below. Please note that the form is double sided so, please print out BOTH pages and staple together if your printer cannot duplex. Franklin County Ag District Worksheet

As well you can pick up a hard copy of the form from the CCE office in the Franklin County Courthouse.

Project 36 is a consumer education initiative that evolved out of farmer and consumer concern over an influx of milk entering New York grocery stores from thousands of miles away. Part of the Organic mandate is to reduce our carbon footprint.

To find out more visit the Organic Dairy Initiative on the Cornell Website.

The Annual Custom Rates sheet is now available at CCE Franklin County

This sheet offers farmers and landowners a guide for custom rates to charge or to expect for work being done on their land. If you would like to download your own copy click here to do so Custom rates & Fees 2008
