Trump's Ag Secretary to visit Chenango County
NEW BERLIN – Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and New York 22nd Congressional District Congressman Anthony Brindisi will visit the Sherburne Library to make a donation, and Chobani’s plant in New Berlin to discuss local agriculture issues during a roundtable discussion that will include local farmers, along with regional and national dairy producers.
According to Chobani Communications and Reputation Manager Alaynah Tombridge, the meeting will be held Wednesday afternoon, at the Chobani plant. Tombridge said the event came out of a desire from the secretary to visit agricultural communities to talk about the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement and engage with local community leaders.
Prior to the event, at 11 a.m. in the Sherburne Library, Brindisi and his wife will make a donation of books from the Library of Congress with local officials present.
According to Sherburne Public Library Manager Colleen Law-Tefft, approximately a week ago Brindisi representatives informed the library that it had been chosen for the donations.
"We found out about a week ago that Brindisi was coming into the area to make a donation to our library," said Law-Tefft. "They said they have books from the Library of Congress to donate to our library."
She said the majority of the books will be children's books, and every donation makes a big difference to smaller libraries such as Sherburne's.
"I’m really pleased, surprised, and honored that they chose us for their donation," said Law-Tefft. "We appreciate the help and hope to put the books to good use."
Several hours after the library event, Tombridge said Brindisi will attend the agriculture round table along with local agriculture representatives.
"Along with Congressman, we are honored to host and bring together members of our local community to discuss directly with the USDA the issues that impact Central New York, and the dairy industry in particular," she said. "While the event isn’t open to the general public, we are inviting reporters and members of the local agricultural community for the roundtable discussion."
According to Village of New Berlin Mayor Terry Potter, events like this are essential to highlighting the importance of agriculture and farming for Upstate New York.
"Agriculture is one of our top industries here in Upstate New York, and it's up to us to ensure that it continues to thrive," said Potter.
Town of Columbus Supervisor Thomas Grace also spoke about the announcement, mentioning that he plans to use the it as a way to discover the long term plan of the US's current trade embargo.
"I plan to ask about the trade embargo and how it’s going to impact us within the next year,” said Grace. “It doesn’t seem like there’s a long term plan in mind; I want to know how this going to impact our farmers in the long run."
