July 20, 2017, NY – On Wednesday, Aug. 9, the New York Ag Leadership Luncheon at Empire Farm Days will honor Mike and Peter Dueppengiesser as recipients of the 2017 Agricultural Environmental Management Award.
Ag Commissioner Richard Ball is scheduled to present the Empire State’s top environmental award to this third-generation family farm for their exemplary environmental management.
The brothers’ Dueppengiesser Dairy Co. of Perry, N.Y., is proof that farms can grow and be both sustainable and profitable by being environmentally responsible.
They closely worked with Wyoming County Soil and Water Conservation District to meet the state’s top (Tier 5) standards while growing their business from 110 milking cows and 750 acres in 1990 to today’s 1,100-cow milking herd and 2,100 cropland acres. READ MORE
