SARATOGA, N.Y., – Today, House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement:
"Kathy Hochul and NY Democrats have engaged in a multi year attack on New York farms causing a mass exodus of small businesses and farms closures across our great state.
Unlike Kathy Hochul, New Yorkers understand that agriculture is the backbone of our state’s economy and the accessibility and affordability of nutritional food for families. New York Democrats must stop their attack on multi-generational, locally rooted dairy farms that feed families all across our state. The Democrats’ latest anti-farm bill would block new permits for dairy farms in our communities and dismantle our healthy, natural food supply.
New Yorkers are proud to be recognized as an agricultural powerhouse as a state, and I will continue to fight for hardworking farms and all the New York families that consume our local agriculture products."
