“This farm bill will cripple western New York’s agricultural foundation” DiPietro said. “I bet these downstate Majority politicians have never even set foot on a farm and are forcing their short-sighted policies onto the very industry that feeds them and their families. You cannot treat agriculture as if it’s just another industry, it’s simply foolhardy. Legislating the work hours to raise a calf or grow a field of corn is simply going to devastate thousands of locally-owned family farms.”
