What We Do
CSS EXTENSION PROGRAM
Cornell Cooperative Extension
is a key outreach system of Cornell University with a strong public
mission and an extensive local presence that is responsive to
needs to New York communities. The Cornell Cooperative Extension
educational system enables people to improve their lives and communities
through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge
to work.
The extension faculty and staff
in the department of Crop and Soil Sciences work together with
extension and applied research programs in Plant Pathology (Gary
Bergstrom), Plant Breeding and Genetics (Margaret Smith), Entomology
(Elson Sheilds), and Integrated Pest Managment (Keith Waldron),
and the PRODAIRY program (Karl Czymmek, Curt Gooch) to provide
leadership and coordination for integrated field crop management
in New York State. Programs focus on crop, soil and waste management
as well as environmental outreach. Crop and Soil Sciences faculty
