NYS Farm Bureau President Says “Don’t Close the Farms!”

New York Farm Bureau President David Fisher issued an announcement Wednesday saying the state’s farms and agribusinesses are working hard to follow safety protocols and ensuring food production continues but it is also important that agriculture remain open for business. New York Farm Bureau has sent a letter to Governor Cuomo commending him on the state’s response to COVID-19, but also asking that any mandatory business closures exempt farms, agricultural businesses that serve as a supply line, and food processing plants.
