SAVE THE DATE! 25th Annual NODPA Field Days

Pompey Rod and Gun Club, Pompey, NY, September 25 & 26, 2025

Mark your calendars for the 25^th Annual NODPA Field Days at the Pompey Rod and Gun Club, 2035 Swift Road, Pompey, NY 13138 on September 25 & 26, 2025. With a lot happening in the Organic Dairy industry, the NODPA Board is working to create a cutting edge education program that embraces these current trends in the field and market. More details will be featured in the May NODPA News but until then, these are some of the themes we are working on:

In a very competitive market, what combination of production and management practices work for your operation?
There will be presentations from Grass Fed and A2A2 producers and processors
We will look at the cost of production for 2025-2026
Opportunities, challenges and cost of robotic milking: does it work for grazing herds?
Identifying the new technologies that increases herd health and makes full use of available labor.
Learn about Geo-fencing for dairy as well as beef. How could this benefit your grazing plans?

We will visit two organic dairy farms in Manlius, NY. The Smith Family will host a tour of their Tre-G Farms, and The Mapstone’s will host a tour of their farm, Pastureland Dairy.
