BILL NUMBER:S7433 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to requiring the department of agriculture and markets to evaluate their support of farmers age sixty-two years and older PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to ensure farmers are being supported as they get older. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill would require the department of agriculture and markets to evaluate their programs in conjunction with the State Office for the Aging to ensure that the needs of farmers and other individuals engaged in agriculture-related enterprises, who are also seniors, are supported. JUSTIFICATION: The average age for a farmer is now over fifty seven years old. As our farmers age, they face unique challenges relating to the continued operation of their businesses. Many producers and processors age out of the system because they don't have supports to enable them to continue on their vegetable farms, dairy farms, processing facilities, etc. It is vital to the continued health of our agriculture network to ensure that these individuals who provide something so basic to our survival are supported so they can stay in business. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.
