Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Madison County is one of 57 cooperative extension associations located in every county in New York State, plus New York City. Local control, local decision making, and in varying degrees local funding is what makes Cornell Cooperative Extension unique compared to other Cooperative Extension organizations in the US. The local staff includes professional educators and specialists who rely on information from researchers and faculty at New York's Land Grant University -- Cornell University -- on topics covering everything from youth and family development to nutrient management planning for dairy farmers. Because of our decentralized structure, local decisions guide the direction of each county association thus creating a wide range of educational programming in every county in New York. Here is Madison County, we are unique in that we sponsor the county's Head Start program along with the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. Many people aren't aware of those associations. Altogether, we oversee close to 1,000 volunteers in our collective organizations and help meet the educational needs of youth, families, farmers and others in the farming community.
