Hudson Valley County Executives Push for Federal Disaster Designation for Farmers
Hudson Valley county officials are calling on the U.S. Department of Agriculture to approve New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s request for a federal disaster designation. That’s after farmers suffered devastating crop loss after freezing temperatures.
Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger, Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus, and Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino sent a letter this week to the USDA urging federal action to support fruit and specialty crop growers.
Radio Catskill’s Kimberly Izar spoke with Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger about the effort.
