Fifth generation farmer and WAC Council Chair Wayland "Bud" Gladstone and his wife Suzanne own and operate Gladstone Farms in Andes, NY. One of the original ten pilot farms in the NYC Watershed Agricultural Program they have transitioned from dairy to beef. Learn more about the Best Management practices and Nutrient Management practices they are utilizing to steward their land and protect water quality for NYC consumers. Watch the video below.

Precision Feed Management (PFM) is designed to engage farmers in a recurring process of planning, implementation and monitoring of the largest source of nutrients on the farm – feed nutrients. Our reasons for implementing PFM are to improve animal productivity, improve profitability and to reduce nutrient accumulations on the farm. PFM is an ongoing management BMP and will be executed differently for each farms’ individual goals.
