Pam Helming has received the Farmer’s Voice Award from the New York Farm Bureau, recognizing her continued support for farmers and agricultural communities across New York State.
The Farmer’s Voice Award is given to state legislators who consistently demonstrate leadership and advocacy on issues that affect agriculture. The recognition highlights Helming’s efforts to promote policies that strengthen family farms, support rural economies, and protect the future of agriculture throughout the state.
“Senator Helming has proven through her voting record that she is committed to supporting New York farmers," said Amanda Krenning-Muoio, Manager, Livingston, Wayne & Monroe County Farm Bureau Relations & Development.
"We commend her for her work to protect the interests of farmers and agribusinesses across the state, and we are proud to present her with the Farmers Voice Award.”
“The County Farm Bureaus in Senator Helming’s district reviewed her excellent voting record with regards to agriculture, and they unanimously agreed that she is deserving of this award," said Mark James, Manager, Ontario County Farm Bureau Relations & Development. "We look forward to continuing to work with Senator Helming to make our voices heard.”
Agriculture continues to play a vital role in the region’s economy and cultural heritage. Helming has supported initiatives aimed at reducing regulatory pressures on farmers, preserving farmland, and ensuring family farms remain sustainable for future generations.
“I am deeply honored to receive the Farmer’s Voice Award from the New York Farm Bureau,” said Senator Helming.
“Agriculture is the backbone of our local economy and a way of life that sustains our communities. Our farmers work tirelessly to feed our state and our nation, and their dedication strengthens our rural communities and economy. I will continue to stand with our farmers and work to ensure their voices are heard as we protect the future of agriculture in New York.”
