  NYFB Lobby Day

  March 4, 2025

  NYFB members will advocate for the organization's priority issues in the halls of the State Capitol in Albany, NY on March 4.  It's a critical time to engage in farm advocacy, and there are a lot of new legislators that need your insights.

  Meet Your Legislators!
  Our advocacy appointments are based on appointments with your legislators and urban "Adopted Legislators".  You may be the only farmer, and possibly the only rural New Yorker, to visit with urban legislators this year.  Please make the most of these meetings!

  Stay tuned for more information.
