Albany
County Farm Bureau
John Mead, President
Albany County Farm Bureau
gives farmers and non-farmers alike the opportunity to be part of an
organization dedicated to supporting and enriching the rural way of
life. It provides an opportunity for individuals involved in agriculture to join
together and make their voices heard. We are active within the political
system on a broad range of issues that concern every rural New York
landowner, from taxation to conservation. We work hard to promote public
policy that protects an owner's right to use land. We believe that a
strong, viable agricultural industry is beneficial not only to our
economy, but also to our local communities and our consumers.
Our Board of Directors usually meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 8:00 pm at the Voorheesville Extension office. Albany County Farm Bureau is in District 8 and is represented on the New York Farm Bureau Board of Directors by Jay Skellie. The field advisor is Bambi Baehrel who can be reached at 518-634-7852.
