Sunnyside Farms, Scipio Center, and John Lehr, Farm Credit East, received the 2023 PRO-DAIRY Agriservice Award presented by NYS Agriculture Commissioner Richard Ball and Cornell CALS PRO-DAIRY Director Dr. Thomas Overton during the Dairy Day Recognition and Awards ceremony at the Great New York State Fair on August 31.
The Agriservice Award is given in appreciation and recognition of outstanding contributions to NYS agriculture through support of PRO-DAIRY.
“This year’s recipients include a farm and a agriservice professional, and join a distinguished list of award winners who are chosen for their committed participation and exceptional support of the many applied research and educational programs in PRO-DAIRY," said Dr. Thomas Overton, PRO-DAIRY Director. "We appreciate and respect their leadership and service to PRO-DAIRY and the broader agriculture industry. They are examples of the best of what the New York dairy industry has to offer.”
Sunnyside partners Greg and Neil Rejman are respected industry leaders, who have been active at the local, regional and state levels, and are always a willing partner in service of the dairy industry. They have collaborated with PRO-DAIRY specialists on education and applied research projects over many years, especially in the areas of the environment and cow health, and their farm serves as a role model to the industry.
