Report: North Country Rep. Stefanik listens to priorities, concerns during 2023 Farm Bill roundtable

COBLESKILL- Dozens of famers from across New York’s 21st Congressional District gathered recently to share their concerns and suggestions with Rep. Elise Stefanik for the 2023 Farm Bill.

As of this report, Stefanik says Congress is still 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.

“Proud to be joined by dozens of local farmers at my Farm Bill roundtable, so I can directly hear their concerns and bring them to the highest levels as we work to pass a farm bill in Congress,” Stefanik said.

“I look forward to continuing to advocate for our farmers and deliver results for Upstate New York and the North Country.”

The gathering was held last Thursday at SUNY Cobleskill. For those who did/could not attend, there is an online portal where New York farmers can share directly their comments with Stefanik over the Farm Bill.

In addition to the input form released, Stefanik says she will be working directly with local farmers across New York’s 21st District, so she can advocate for them and bring their concerns to the highest levels.
