ASC Hosted Congressman Massa

Alfred State College recently
hosted Congressman Eric J. J. Massa (D-29^th District) and his "2009
Western New York Regional Agriculture Summit." The freshman representative
invited local and regional farmers, the NYS Farm Bureau, Cooperative
Extensions, and others to share their concerns and grievances in order to help
educate him so he can accurately and responsibly represent them in Congress
and, more particularly, on the House Agriculture Committee, an appointment he
diligently sought.  Scores of dairy and crop farmers, both conventional
and organic, from around the state attended the event and found a receptive ear
in the Congressman.
