Thank you to King Brothers Dairy for hosting!
NEDPA, along with our partners at Northeast Agribusiness and Feed Alliance (NEAFA), New York Farm Bureau, Cornell CALS, and the NY Animal Agriculture Coalition joined NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets Commissioner Ball and his team at King Brothers Dairy in Schuylerville to discuss opportunities to strengthen the dairy industry through collaboration, communication and investments in education, workforce development, processing, and science-based research. With bountiful natural resources and the legacy of many successful family dairy farms, New York can be a leader in dairy for generations to come.

Karl Czymmek Honored for Decades of Dedication to the New York Dairy Industry
NEDPA, in partnership with PRO-DAIRY, recognized Karl Czymmek for two decades of leadership, research, and outreach on environmental sustainability and nutrient management work on behalf of NY’s dairy industry. Karl’s ability to work with farmers, researchers, and government agencies such as Ag & Markets and NYSDEC served as a valuable conduit to designing policy based on science and continuous improvement. Jon Greenwood provided a tribute to Karl’s leadership and Executive Director Tonya Van Slyke read on behalf of Meghan Hauser, who described Karl’s “brand” with these three words:
Communicate: Karl communicates effectively and meaningfully with people from all walks of life.
Collaborate: Karl’s respect for all people makes him a highly effective collaborator.
Committed: Karl believes in what he does. He has spent years throwing his heart and mind into thorny topics like nutrient management, air quality, the environment, water resources and many others, all on OUR behalf.
Thank you to the farmers, sponsors, dynamic speakers, agribusinesses, and our partners at Cornell PRO-DAIRY for a successful 2022 Northeast Dairy Management Conference!
