Pause Minimum Wage Hikes!
The future of New York State’s agriculture depends on strong rural economies, the retention of a skilled workforce, and a predictable business climate. Family farms have adapted and adjusted to additional mandates and increasing costs, but further disruption will negatively impact farmers, farmworkers, and the state’s food security. Help us maintain some certainty, support the next generation of farmers, and save New York’s food supply, farmworker jobs, and our rural communities.
Grow NY Farms
We are focused on sharing with all our NY neighbors the values, contributions and benefits, farmers and the greater agricultural community bring to our state. Our advocacy efforts spring forward from voices on more than 35,000 farms.
