Agriculture
|
As the grandson of dairy farmers, I understand the importance of agriculture to New York's economy. While our family farms are the backbone of the rural economy, they also provide food security for our kitchen tables.
In 2014, Congress passed a new Farm Bill, and we must work together to ensure our local family farms are aware of and have the tools to access programs that support our rural businesses. I have and will continue to fight to see that the federal government acts quickly and effectively to help family farms that feel the devastating impacts of extreme weather events. |
