Your Instructor
Classes are taught by Jason Detzel of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County. Jason is a social worker turned farmer and owner of Diamond Hills Farm, a pasture-based
cow/calf operation in Hudson, New York. When he is not grazing, watering, or
calving he serves at the Livestock Educator for CCE. He gets up early, tries to stay up late, and likes looking at
his collection of unread books. He enjoys talking farm and has an opinion and
possibly advice on most anything relating to livestock. He is happiest at that
time of year when you can smell the soil but not the cold!
