Gearing Up

Welcome! I'm a student in Cornell's Agricultural Science major, getting ready to graduate in December. This summer, I'm working for - and blogging about - the Small Farms Program and the Organic Dairy Initiative. As an intern, I have the opportunity to learn these programs inside and out by:

• organizing renewable energy field days and organic dairy field days;
• profiling the renewable energy strategies of farms;
• assisting with a field trial to test the incorporation of brassicas into pasture;
• profiling small dairies;
• assisting with editing the Small Farms Quarterly;
• updating relevant websites

The list may change, of course; one of the qualifications for the job is "willingness to learn quickly and work in a flexible environment."

I started work on May 18, but between my sister's graduation and Memorial Day weekend this week (the third consecutive week) is my first full one. Stay tuned for further adventures!
