NYS Agriculture Bills

Here is the link for the Farm Bureau website which lists bills and budget change proposals. The site helps you find your representatives so you can write or email them on the different issues, and a sample letter with each change that can be printed or emailed.

One proposed change is cutting premium money to fairs. This would impact our little fair greatly. This money supports our animal shows, with the majority paid as 4-H premiums.

Our kids work hard with their projects all year long and look forward to the fair as their way of showing off this project. With the cost of veterinary testing, shots, and required paper work, it costs $100 minimum for the first animal in a herd to come to fair. Figure this along with transportation to and from each day, time at the fair to put on the shows, and dedication of the child.

Please offer your support and take the time to write in support of continued premiums! Thanks to those who care.
