Statement from the Grow NY Farms Coalition in Response to Commissioner Reardon’s Decision Regarding the Farm Overtime Threshold

“New York’s agriculture community is deeply disappointed in Commissioner Reardon’s ill-informed decision to lower the overtime threshold for our family farms. This decision threatens the security of our food supply, the retention of our skilled farmworkers, and the future of New York’s farms. If Governor Hochul has the ability to step in and stop this damaging decision, she must do so immediately.”
