Assemblyman Joseph M. Giglio (R,C,I-Gowanda) today announced that he has been welcomed as a member of the New York Farm Bureau’s prestigious “Circle of Friends” for his support of New York agriculture and the Farm Bureau.

“It is a privilege to be recognized as a member of the New York Farm Bureau’s ‘Circle of Friends,’” said Giglio. “With New York’s agriculture industry diversifying and expanding, farm families continue to be the backbone of our local economies. I am extremely vested in their mission and will continue to advocate on their behalf in Albany.”

The New York Farm Bureau’s “Circle of Friends” legislative award is based upon a member’s voting record on issues of importance to New York’s agriculture, as well as other evidence of legislative support during legislative session. Membership is reserved for only those who actively support the farm families of New York and is renewed at the end of each legislative session.
