Syracuse, NY - Representative Ann Marie Buerkle (NY-25) has been awarded the Friend of the Farm Bureau Congressional Award at the Onondaga County Farm Bureau’s annual meeting last night.

“I am honored to receive this award from the American Farm Bureau Federation. Agriculture is essential to the economic viability of my district and New York State overall.
