Agriculture

Agriculture is a vibrant and important part of our economy in Central New York. In order to grow and succeed, our farmers need federal agriculture policy that provides certainty. I voted for the reauthorization of the Farm Bill in January 2014 because the bill takes important steps to protect and conserve the environment and it provides certainty to farmers across Central New York. The Farm Bill, which provides authorization for our nation’s agriculture and nutrition programs, addressed many significant issues; including reforming the crop insurance program and ending direct payments to farmers. The bill will also help dairy farmers and specialty crop growers expand and create new jobs. 
 
It’s important for me to hear directly from members of our agriculture community about the policies that impact their businesses. I’ve held agriculture roundtables across Central New York to discuss the concerns, challenges, and opportunities facing the agriculture community in Central New York. Based on conversations with local farmers and other stakeholders during these roundtables, I formed an Agriculture Advisory Board for the 24th District. This agriculture advisory board is made up of a diverse group of farmers, producers, and other local agriculture leaders from across our region, and I will be meeting with them to get their input on ways.
