Cortland County Young Farmers and Ranchers Hosting Farm Tour Sunday

The Cortland County Young Farmer and Rancher team says they will be hosting a farm tour on Sunday, June 22nd at three farms within the county. The tour will begin at Trinity Valley at 8:45 in the morning followed by Z’s Nutty Ridge in McGraw and finishing up at Horsetail Herb Farm in Marathon.

“The farm tours are an event we wanted to bring back to the community,” said Matthew Kemak, Cortland County Farm Bureau Vice President. He adds, “Through the hard work of our Young Farmers and Ranchers’ team, Cortland County Farm Bureau is able to offer a great opportunity for those wishing to learn more about agriculture in the county, and the diversity it offers.”

Chairperson of the Young Farmers and Ranchers program, Julie Fouts, says she looks forward to seeing the county’s young farmers and ranchers, but anyone else who would like to attend. The tours are self-driven. Addresses and times may be found below. The program, Young Farmers & Rangers, allows those 18-35 years old to participate in leadership development, volunteer and social activities to build the future of farming within the state.
