Save New York's Dairy Farm Families!

Governor Paterson & Albany Legislative Leaders
Governor Paterson and Albany Legislative Leaders:
NYS Dairy Farm Families are experiencing the worst financial crises in decades. Facing 1970's prices for milk while carrying 2009 expenses, they are on the verge of collapse.
Higher costs of doing business in NYS as a result of excessive taxes, regulation and rising energy costs, importation of milk protein concentrate from China and other countries (with little or no tariffs and lower health inspection requirements), as well as federal milk pricing policies that hurt the Northeast must be reversed.
If these threats are unchecked, our state will see the elimination of traditional family farms in NYS, destabilization of upstate and rural economies, loss of agricultural land engaged in sustainable production, decreased food security and food safety as a result of over-dependence on imports, and a larger carbon footprint for the production of food and fiber as consumers pay higher transportation costs to ship food and food products to NYS.
We have lost manufacturing overseas, we are reliant on foreign oil, we are now in debt to many of these outside countries.
We do not want to give up our local food supply!
We desperately urge immediate financial relief and long term changes in public policy to support our family farms before it's too late!

NYS dairy farmers are among its hardest workers and most community oriented citizens. They deserve all possible levels of support to preserve their livelihoods and ensure that locally produced quality dairy products are available in NYS.

Gov. Paterson & Albany Legislative Leaders, Too little comprehension and action shows itself with respect to the ever-growing problems in America's dairy industry. Due to this seeming lack of care, I chose to pursue the possible and probable effects that a nonexistent American dairy industry will have on this country and its people for my capstone project, a required course for students in the honors program at SUNY Orange. Having shown ourselves poor stewards of our dairy industry, our complete dependence on foreign nations for dairy products should prove itself no great surprise when the current American dairy industry completely collapses from governmental and community negligence. Because we, the people who have elected you into your respective offices and also those from out of state who care, have brought this issue to your attention, laid the responsibility for action at your feet, taken the initiative in recognizing the problem and demanding action, you, collectively, now hold the responsibility to listen to and fulfill the needs of your people. Additionally, whether or not you will read or even acknowledge it, rest assured that you will receive a copy of my capstone upon its completion; this will be around April or May of 2010. With all due respect, Gov. Paterson & Albany Legislative Leaders, the time is now, the action yours to take, but the responsibility rests on us all.

communities are the heart and the farms are our blood supply which feeds the hearts of the community. We must protect our local food supply from a national security and environmental reasons. OUr nations food supply has been developed off from cheap food policy fueled by cheap oil!! Those who control our energy controls, the county, those who controls the food, controls the people. We must work together to rebuild america and bring profits back to communities instead of wall St. Greed lead to poverty. There is something wrong with our food system when the poor are obese and are at risk of type 2 diabetes that drives up our health costs. We have a systemic problem in our food infrasture - Food Stamps provided quanity of food, but doesn't put restriction on quality of food. I have witnessed people at stores buy candy bars, potato chips, and cart loads of soda using the food stamp card. We need to provide quality food to the poor not quanitity!!! It all starts with people knowing where their food is produced and that is locally. Dairy farming is on the verge of cardiac arrest in this state - OUr state needs to take the lead and bring change in Washington before the next farm bill. Too much will be lost if it isn't addressed. In addition, farms create responsible children who learn work ethic and team work. My children are at the top of their classes and their teachers say they are role models because of their discipline. That is a direct result of our lifestyle that is underappreciated in this country and has been taken advantage of buy our dairy coops and dairy processors (Dean's Foods) who have made record profits while billions of dollars were lost by the dairy farmers. consumers deserve a fresh local safe food supply!!!

Thanks for setting this petition up online. I am a lawyer with numerous farm clients. The farmers are absolutely essential to rural economies in my area. Yet, they have not received much attention from the State of New York, just a lot of rhetoric so far....wake up New York State Legislature and Governor Paterson!

I grew up as as a farm girl on my parents' farm. It is such a good way for children to learn responsibility, to appriciate animals, and a wholesome way of life. We didn't have time for temptations that ensnare the inactive young people of today. It bonded our family together. We each got our allowance as a % of the monthly milk check. Our country needs the security that farming offers, the independence of using our own land wisely, and the natural beauty of farm environment.

It's terrible that our local dairy farms have been operating at a financial loss for so long. I want a system that nurtures and sustains them. Small family farms are more likely to be owned and worked by people who feel a deep connection to the land and will do what they can to use it sustainably. I would like to always buy dairy products made from locally produced milk. I fear that they will all be forced out of business and the land will go to developers.

Largest problem here is lack of healthy competition in trading, from milk companies/coops up through retailers. The system that does not allow for healthy competition is destined to become a lumbering monopoly type system. No one wins here, except perhaps the folks at the top. The more players there are the more the liklihood that "true" market price can be realized.

Dear Gov. Paterson and Legislators--Stop pandering on this issue and for once stand up for New York dairy farmers. Do you remember that Agriculture is our No. 1 industry in NYS? Other states have actually taken steps to help their dairy producers but New York as usual is lagging behind. That being said, we hear all this banter from Albany about our economic woes in NY and yet we do nothing for our dairy farmers who are literally in financial ruin! Well here's an idea--let's get the dairy farmers some much needed pricing reform and help boost our upstate and rural economy! AND while you are at it, let's investigate why the farmers are still paying for the hauling to the plant. It's unfair and needs to be addressed as well. It is very clear that this industry needs an overhaul badly. The million dollar question is... will our elected government officials take a stand on this issue and do what is right here or allow this unfair & antiquated pricing system to continue to work against producers until they are all gone? Please do your homework on this issue and support our dairy farmers on this one! Thank you Assemblyman Lopez, Assemblyman Crouch, and other NY legislators that have supported our NY dairy producers. Sincerely, Jennifer Sienko

Keeping our farms may be more important than most people realize. This is our food. Personal friends have lost their farms and are in financial ruin. They have no money to spend to support our economy, thus hurting other businesses. It is a continuous cycle that must be changed. Our government has bailed out others that are not as important as our food. We must stop supporting other countries when we cannot support ourselves adequately. Thank you.
