Claudia Tenney
BATAVIA – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney will have three roundtable discussions with the agricultural community next week as part of a Farm Bill listening tour.
Tenney said she wants to hear from farmers in the 24th Congressional District about their priorities for the 2023 Farm Bill.
“As your voice in Congress, it is essential that I hear directly from you about the issues facing our community,” she said. “Our sprawling district, the largest agriculture-producing district in the Northeast, is home to so many hardworking farmers who feed our community, state, and nation. I am committed to hearing from them about their top priorities as we prepare for the consideration of the 2023 Farm Bill. I will always be a tenacious advocate for our region’s agriculture community.”
The sessions include:
• Western New York Farm Bill Roundtable
Tuesday, April 4, 10 a.m. Old Courthouse
7 Main St., Batavia, NY 14020
• Central NY & North Country Farm Bill Roundtable
Wednesday, April 5, 10 a.m. Oswego County Legislative Chamber
46 E Bridge St., 4th Floor Oswego, NY 13126
• Finger Lakes Farm Bill Roundtable
Thursday, April 6, 10 a.m. Phelps Community Center

Every five years, Congress passes Farm Bill legislation that sets national agriculture, nutrition, conservation, and forestry policies.
New York’s 24th District is the largest agriculture and dairy district in the Northeast, producing dairy, beef, grain, wine, apples and other crops.
