Dutchess/Putnam/Westchester County Farm Bureau
Mark Adams, President

Dutchess 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 fourth Thursday of the month at the Cooperative Extension office in Millbrook. Dutchess County Farm Bureau is in District 10 and is represented on the New York Farm Bureau Board of Directors by Eric Ooms. The field advisor is Marilyn Howard who can be reached at 845-868-7171.
