Senator Mark Walczyk vehemently opposes Senate Bill S6530, which seeks to impose arbitrary restrictions on the expansion of dairy farms in New York.
This politically motivated legislation stands as a blatant attempt by New York City lawmakers to meddle in rural life, jeopardizing the livelihoods of hardworking farmers who are the backbone of our state's economy. It is an insult to our agricultural community and an attack on the very principles of freedom and opportunity that define our rural heritage.
Senate Bill S6530 aims to prohibit the Department of Environmental Conservation from issuing permits for new or expanding Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)—large-scale dairy farms that are vital to meet the growing demand for dairy products in New York.
