ALBANY – The NYGOP released the following statement in response to two New York City Democrats’ proposal to limit the number of cows on dairy farms:

“The whiff of manure from Albany Democrats is stronger than usual this week. Dairy farmers should not be the villains in an imaginary climate change narrative – they should be respected as part of the backbone of our state’s rural economy and heritage.

“Senator Brisport and Assemblywoman Rosenthal should accept the invitation from Jefferson County Agricultural Coordinator Jay Matteson and trade in their soy lattes for a day on the farm – maybe then they’ll stop micromanaging rural life without understanding its realities.”

– NYGOP Spokesman David Laska
