Down on the farm in Jeffersonville

JEFFERSONVILLE, NY — This year’s Down on the Farm Day event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 5 at the Myers Century Farm on Earl Myers Road in Jeffersonville. With the agricultural sector bringing in more gross income than any other business in Sullivan County, this is a great opportunity to learn more about one of our primary economic engines.

Milking demonstrations, hay baling demonstrations, tours of the farm and displays by Cornell Cooperative Extension, Soil and Water Conservation District, 4H Clubs and other agricultural organizations will be featured. The Sullivan County Dairy Promotion Committee will be on hand with milk and ice cream and the Moo Juicers 4H Club will have young farm animals on display.

Food will be available at a nominal cost. A $2 donation per person will be used to offset expenses.
