Yates County Farm Bureau
Ritchie Lent, President

Yates 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 the second Tuesday of each month at 1459 Milo Center Road, Penn Yan. Yates County Farm Bureau is in District 3 and is represented on the New York Farm Bureau Board of Directors by Jonathan Taylor. The field advisor is Mark James, Executive Director of the Finger Lakes Office, who can be reached at 315-568-2658.
