SUNY Morrisville’s Dairy Complex continues to earn high marks, receiving a 2024 Progressive Genetics Herd Award by Holstein Association USA, Inc., along with high-quality milk awards from Dairy One and DFA (Dairy Farmers of America).
Behind these achievements is a dynamic leaning environment with multiple barns for heifers, calves and livestock that give students invaluable hands-on experience. The college’s 400 acres of cropland provide essential forage to support the herd.
