Senator Pam Helming has been honored with the Farmer’s Voice Award from the New York Farm Bureau in recognition of her strong commitment to supporting farmers and agriculture across New York State.

The Farmer’s Voice Award is presented to state legislators who demonstrate consistent leadership and advocacy on issues important to the agricultural community. The award recognizes Senator Helming’s work to advance policies that support family farms, strengthen rural economies, and protect the long-term future of agriculture in New York.

“Senator Helming has proven through her voting record that she is committed to supporting New York farmers. 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,” said Amanda Krenning-Muoio, Manager, Livingston, Wayne & Monroe County Farm Bureau Relations & Development.

“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. We look forward to continuing to work with Senator Helming to make our voices heard,” said Mark James, Manager, Ontario County Farm Bureau Relations & Development.

Agriculture remains a cornerstone of the local economy and an essential part of the identity and heritage of many communities throughout the region. Senator Helming has been a strong advocate for farmers, supporting efforts to reduce regulatory burdens, promote farmland protection, and ensure that family farms can continue to grow and succeed for generations to come.

“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.”

The New York Farm Bureau represents thousands of farm families across the state and works to promote sound public policies that strengthen agriculture and rural communities.
