Why are your donations

so important??

Our impact is far-reaching and extends to you, your family, your neighbors and your entire community. In many different ways. Here are a few of the many different ways:

*Conduct agriculture research and educational programs to help farms increase profits, reduce costs and to minimize the impact on the environment.

*Encourage people to "buy local," which saves money, leads to healthier diets and lends support to local farms.

*Show people how to grow their own food, how to prepare it and how to preserve it for later use.

*Build positve life skills and provide alternatives to risk-taking behavior in youth.

*Support community initiatives such as Solar Schuyler.

*Educate people about how to save energy and how to reduce their heating and cooling costs.
