CAZENOVIA EQUIPMENT SUPPORTS
FARMLAND PROTECTION

Earlier this year we shared good news about a new and unique partnership between the New York Agricultural Land Trust (NYALT) and
central and northern New York’s largest John Deere dealership, Cazenovia Equipment Company.  

Cazenovia dedicated a portion of the sales of 6000 series and above John Deere tractors toward support for NYALT’s farmland protection work.  The sales incentive program ran through October 2011 and produced a gift of $13,811.79!  The gift will benefit NYALT’s ongoing work on behalf of farmers who are seeking to protect their farms from development.

How You Can Help Local Farmers This Year

According to American Farmland Trust, “a New York farm is lost to development every three days”.  Imagine the impact on all of us if this pace continues. 

Please give as generously as you can.  

Your support will enable NYALT to help conserve up to 10,000 acres of beautiful productive land, more farmland than any other conservation group in
New York State, and we can’t do it without you.

Monthly donations of any amount from your credit card account are an easy and practical way to support NYALT.

Please consider making an online donation using the "Donate Now" button on the left.

FarmWe know that farmland conservation is more than just another beautiful landscape; it’s part of our community’s rural economy, heritage and quality of life; it’s helping to ensure clean air and water, and provide wildlife habitat.

“I have lived in this area my whole life and I know that once farmland is gone, it’s gone for good. This land deserved to be protected. Now, future farmers will be able to grow local food for generations to come.”

-Doug Ross, Fruithurst Farm, Cayuga County
