01/07/2010 - ALBANY, N.Y. - New York Farm Bureau, the state's largest general farm advocacy organization, has named 84 State Legislators to its "Circle of Friends" for the year 2009. The award is an indication of the individual lawmaker's support of New York agriculture and the Farm Bureau.
"The 'Circle of Friends' award is based upon each legislator's voting
record on issues of importance to New York agriculture and other
evidence of legislative support, including sponsorship of bills that
Farm Bureau has either supported, or opposed, throughout the
Legislative Session," stated Dean Norton, New York Farm Bureau
President.
The selected lawmakers were chosen for their strong support of New
York's family farms. Each "Circle of Friends" member has demonstrated
that they understand the importance of agriculture in their legislative
district, and how the industry impacts the economy and the future of
New York State. The "Circle of Friends" award is not an endorsement,
and includes only the 2009 Legislative Session.
