Blue Ribbon Task Force

 

Blue Ribbon Task Force Convenes at Empire Farm Days

For the second year in a row, members of NYSAC’s Blue Ribbon Task Force on Farming met at Empire Farm Days in Seneca County. The Farm Days were the ideal backdrop for the meeting where members worked in subgroups focusing on animal agriculture, row and specialty crops, and farmland protection/ environment. The result of these subgroup discussions will be recommendations to include in an updated report to state and federal lawmakers. In the revised report, the Task Force will identify priorities for the next federal Farm Bill.

The Blue Ribbon Task Force convened again for a breakfast meeting at the NYSAC Fall Seminar on Thursday, September 22nd.
