Assemblyman David DiPietro (R,C-East Aurora) has been named to the New York Farm Bureau “Circle of Friends,” an honor he has received each year since taking office. The award is presented “based upon each legislator’s voting record on issues of agricultural importance as well as other evidence of legislative support, including sponsorship of bills that New York Farm Bureau has either supported or opposed during the most recent legislative session.”

“To be named to the ‘Circle of Friends’ yet again is a great honor for someone representing Western New York,” DiPietro said. “I have fought, and will continue to fight, to make New York’s family farms and agricultural businesses the strongest in the nation by clearing out governmental red tape and lowering the taxes on family farms. We are improving the agricultural economy every year, and it’s because of the great leadership provided by the New York Farm Bureau.”
