Representatives from the New York Farm Bureau (NYFB) presented Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay (R,C-Pulaski) with their annual Circle of Friends award. The organization seeks to recognize legislators who demonstrate support for policies and issues for the state’s agriculture and farming community.

“I am honored to be recognized by my friends at the Farm Bureau year after year for my steadfast commitment to the hardworking men and women in the agriculture sector. It is important that legislators recognize the value of these individuals and their contributions to the economy but more directly, often our dining room tables. I look forward to continuing to partner with my colleagues in the Assembly Minority Conference to support legislative efforts pertaining to the farming community,” said Leader Barclay.
