The Food Donation and Food Scrap Recycling Act passed by New York State will require agency, municipal and educational sources (and their food contracts) to recycle their food waste. This applies to those producing one ton/week starting 10/2019, through 2020, ½ ton/week from 2021 through 2022, and 500 lbs/week from 2023 and on. The priorities for the food waste will be to provide edible food to people first, feed for animals second, third for anaerobic digestion and composting. They are only required to look for recycling operations within 25 miles and can get a waiver if the cost to recycle is 1.15 times the cost of landfill disposal.

The Empire Farm Days Dairy Profit Seminars, August 6 through 8 in Seneca Falls, will provide money-saving, latest trend, and practical strategies to the industry. The 2019 seminar series will feature more, but shorter, presentations, along with a lunch and extra break time in a more intimate setting, to allow farmers an environment to discuss their concerns and receive advice more fully.

“The concept this year is to present the audience with specific information on money-saving solutions and dairy operation strategies to help dairy producers adapt and evolve in this current economic climate,” said Joel Hastings, Editor & Publisher of DairyBusiness.com.

Professor Tom Overton, PRO-DAIRY Director, will  present the keynote at 2:15 PM, August 6.

The annual Dairy Profit Seminars are hosted by PRO-DAIRY, Northeast Dairy Producers Assn., and DairyBusiness.com. Sponsors are six firms serving dairy farmers in the Northeast: ASAP Interiors, Morrisville, NY; AMTS LLC, Groton, NY; DFA Northeast, Syracuse, NY; Farm Credit East, Enfield, CT; Farm Family Insurance – American National, Albany, NY; and Pikeside Enterprises, Gainesville, NY.
