Over 60 Farmers and Producers Across District and State Support Jim Barber for State Senate

Jim Barber, a fifth-generation farmer from the Schoharie Valley running for New York State Senate in the 51st District has seen overwhelming support from farmers across the district and the state. Over 60 farmers and producers have joined “Farmers for Barber” to show their support for Barber who, if elected, will be the only full-time farmer in the State Senate. 

"These farmers understand, as I do, how critical it is that we have a representative in the State Senate who shares our values and work ethic,” said Barber. “Someone who can speak from the personal experience of earning a living as a full-time farmer. We can be sure that Albany will continue to enact legislation that will mandate how we should be farming and running our businesses. I need to be there to represent all of us.”
