#16: Science and Sustainability on Long Island Farms

New York Farm Bureau News Bytes

Last week, we explored the diversity of agriculture on Long Island. It is an incredibly diverse sector ranging from fruit and vegetable farms, to wineries, aquaculture, nurseries, equine and so much more.

If there is one thing they all have in common, it is support from agricultural professionals that assist in some of the more technical needs to better manage their operations. Today we talk with Nora Catlin, PhD, the ag program director from Cornell Cooperative Extension, as well as Anne Marie Colabro, the agronomist from the Suffolk County Soil and water district.
