In 1899 Lore Rogers was offered a position as assistant bacteriologist at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva.
The New York State Legislature had established the State Agricultural Experiment Station, which opened in 1882.
 It was no coincidence that two bacteriologists overlapped at Wisconsin and arrived at the experiment station in 1899.
Harry Alexis Harding had been an undergraduate and graduate student at Wisconsin under H. L. Russell   (and would later earn a PhD at Cornell University).
Harding, with his Wisconsin M.S. degree followed by study in Europe, was appointed chief dairy bacteriologist, and Lore would serve as assistant.

The experiment station staff around 1900 included a superintendent, an animal industry specialist, two botanists, eight chemists, two bacteriologists, a dairy expert, three entomologists, three horticulturalists, an editor-librarian, and two clerk-stenographers.
 The two bacteriologists, Harry Harding, and Lore Rogers, collaborated on several reports on milk and cheese, with Harding listed as senior author.
 George A. Smith,"dairy expert" was another collaborator.

Some station bulletins co-authored by Lore Rogers included "The Efficiency of a Continuous Pasteurizer at Different Temperatures" (1899),  "Inspection of Babcock Milk Test Bottles" (1900), "Dairy Disagreeables Busy the Bacteriologists" (1900), and "Notes on Some Dairy Troubles" (1900).
