The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets is taking nominations for the New York Dairy Promotion Advisory Board, which allows dairy farmers to control the promotion of their product by advising the use of expenditures.

The board consists of 10 state milk producers, appointed by the agriculture commissioner, who are expected to serve a three-year term.

They don’t receive a salary but are entitled to reimbursement of expenses.

Nominations, which should provide the name and address of the producer, can be mailed to: NYS Department of Agriculture; Division of Milk Control and Dairy Services; Attn: Moe Miran; 10B Airline Drive; Albany, N.Y. 12235.

The deadline is April 1. For details, call 518-457-1772.
