NYS Department of Ag and Markets Survey
|
|
The NYS Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets is interested in
hearing from NY dairy farmers regarding the status of the dairy industry
and their ideas as to improvements that could be made to various
programs and institutions that impact the financial environment of dairy
markets. The survey will remain open until December 31, 2018.
Friends,
Thank you for your commitment and contribution to producing dairy in New York State.
As you know, we have seen tremendous
growth in the production of milk over the last couple of years, ranking
New York as #3 in milk production in the nation. This increase in
production creates an opportunity for us to work collaboratively to
better understand New York consumers and to collectively brand our dairy
products as world-class, with our shared goal of increasing consumption
of all dairy products in New York.
We have created the following anonymous survey
as a forum to share thoughts on what such an effort might look like. As
this survey is anonymous, we will not have the ability to track who
responds to the survey. The survey is expected to take a short time to
complete but you will have up to 120+ days to complete it. The survey
will close at midnight on 12/31/18 and once complete the results will be
summarized and thereafter presented to the Milk Marketing Advisory
Council. The summarized results will also be available for you to view
at any time from our website.
Thank you for your continued commitment to New York State’s Dairy Industry!
Commissioner Richard A. Ball
New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets
