Educational Team - Transitioning Land to a New Generation

Meet our Project Partners

The Educational Team is supported by the Educational Team Advisory Committee. All together comprised of 19 partner farmers and national farm transfer experts who have wide-ranging experiences. Members will advise on the development of core competencies and learning objectives, provide input on curriculum development, identify and review training curricula and resources, suggest ways to fill gaps, and inform the delivery of trainings and dissemination of materials.

AFT Staff

In addition to our partners, many AFT staff will help guide curriculum development and implementation.

Jerry heads AFT\u2019s efforts to help landowners fully understand their options for land transfer. This includes directing an AFT program that accepts gifts of the land that will then be used to support the next generation of farmers. He previously served as AFT\u2019s northeast director. During his career, he has worked on a range of agricultural, conservation, farm transfer, and rural development issues. Jerry was the associate director of the Local Economies Project of the New World Foundation, where he helped launch LEP\u2019s Hudson Valley Farm Hub initiative, a 1,200-acre teaching, research, and demonstration farm.\u00a0 Before that, he served as a deputy commissioner for the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, with program responsibility for food policy, food safety, dairy, and agricultural protection. He grew up on a fourth-generation dairy farm in central New York that his brother now owns. Jerry earned his degree from Cornell\u2019s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He later graduated from Cornell Law School. He is a member of the New York State Bar and the American Agricultural Law Association.\u00a0 <\/span> <\/span> \u00a0<\/span> <\/span>","post_title":"Jerry
