*LandLink Project Launched*
November 21. 7p.m. 4-H Acres, Lower Creek Road off Rt. 13. Finger Lakes
LandLink is a new project of Cornell Cooperative Extension South Central
NY Agriculture Program that seeks to improve land access for beginning
and established farmers by matching land owners and land seekers locally
and in the Finger Lakes region. The Finger Lakes LankLink will be an
online service where farmers and landowners can search either the land
available or farmer database to find an appropriate match. Cornell
Cooperative Extension will provide resources and consulting to help
facilitate the matching process. The initial pilot counties for this
project include: Tompkins, Tioga, Schuyler, Cortland, and Chemung.
Land owners who are interested in having their land farmed, either
through leasing, selling or sharing their land with a farmer, should
contact Cooperative Extension and attend an upcoming information
meeting. Beginning and established farmers who are seeking land to start
or expand their agricultural enterprise, are also being invited to get
on a preliminary list of farm seekers. During the meeting, landowners
will learn about options for using their land, leasing arrangements, and
the benefits of working with farmers to gain potential property tax
breaks, along with the benefit of having someone utilize land for
farming and food production. If you are a landowner or farmer
interested in the Finger Lakes LandLink project, please contact: Ian
Bailey (<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
) or Monika Roth (607-272-2292,
