Position Summary

For over 30 years PRO-DAIRY has linked New York's dairy farmers and agribusiness professionals to critical research and resources, giving them the information they need to build and manage robust businesses. PRO-DAIRY's contributions to educational programming and applied research have helped New York farmers continue to lead in milk production and remain among the top dairy states. According to national agriculture statistics, New York has been a national leader in dairy growth for the past 10 years. Through its research, discussion groups, educational programs, financial analysis, websites, publications and personal contacts, the Cornell University based program reaches thousands of dairy professionals annually.

This position will provide direct operational leadership and support for the Dairy Profit Monitor (DPM) Program, involving monthly analysis for dairy farms and the continued development and use of educational materials in support of the program. Also provide administrative support for the Dairy Farm Business Summary, the longest on-going applied research project within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Serve as a liaison between and provide coordination among Dairy Management faculty, PRO-DAIRY staff, and industry professionals on developing and carrying out the programs designed to support the DPM Program. Work with PRO-DAIRY Farm Management staff in coordinating the discussion group program, utilizing the Dairy Farm Business Summary, Activity Analysis Projects, and other tools used within the groups. This support requires the incumbent to work directly with dairy producers throughout the state and their advisors. Collaboration in development and delivery of educational programs will be required with other members of the PRO-DAIRY statewide and area teams and faculty related to farm management and dairy production.

This position is full-time (40 hours/week) and will be located in Ithaca, New York.
