Cornell is rated as one of the best Ag schools in the nation, while MCC is a freaking community college. Admittedly, you don't need the nation's best entomologist to tell you how to get aphids off your rose bushes, but presumably the CCE is better hooked into the latest trends. I think the real reason for the switch in funds is a backroom sweetheart deal and/or the fact that MCC's main campuses are in Henrietta while the CCE is in the city.
