Jill Marshall of Elba, NY visited the Newport office the week of December 10-14 as part of the Farm Credit Fellows program. Jill is currently a senior at Cornell University in the Agricultural Science department. She grew up on her family’s wholesale vegetable and dairy farm. They milk 1,400 cows and have a couple thousand acres of vegetables. Their three biggest crops are onions, cabbage and cucumbers. After graduation Jill is hoping to pursue an opportunity bridging the gap between produce farmers and retailers. Her long range goal is to return to the family farm.
