Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik today opened an online portal where farmers from across New York’s 21st District can directly share their priorities for this year’s Farm Bill.
“Agriculture is the backbone of Upstate New York and the North Country. As Congress is working to draft this year’s Farm Bill, farmers across New York’s 21st District can use this input form to directly share their priorities with me, so I can bring them to the highest levels,” Stefanik said. “This important legislative package will support our farmers and provide them with critical resources over the next five years, which is why, as the highest-ranking New York member in the majority, I will work to include the priorities of our local farmers and deliver results for them.”

Currently, Congress is in the early stages of writing the 2023 Farm Bill, a package passed every five years to support a strong agriculture industry and covers a wide range of programs and resources that apply to farmers.
