Sen. Gillibrand to serve as chair of agriculture subcommittee

Posted

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand will serve as Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, Poultry, Marketing and Agriculture Security.

The first New York Senator in 40 years to serve on the Senate Agriculture Committee, Gillibrand also served on the House Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy and Poultry while representing New York’s 20 Congressional District.

Gillibrand announced the appointment Tuesday.

Gillibrand has said she wants to overhaul the milk pricing system with fair competitive pricing for dairy producers, make the pricing system more transparent, prevent looming cuts to the MILC program, bolster New York’s dairy exports, stabilize dairy trading prices, and provide dairy farmers with tools and information they can use.
