Those who are fans of the baked potato at the New York State Fair will find the line to obtain the savory spud shorter this year. Fair organizers say the procedure for the tuber treat will involve a separate line for the potato itself, then the drink, then the condiments.

The commissioner of NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets, Darrel Aubertine, will be the guest speaker at the Chenango County Farm Bureau annual meeting at 7 p.m. tonight at the Silo restaurant in Greene.
