Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On December 16, 2012 Schumer finished his 14th consecutive 62 county tour in Washington County. At the Battenkill Creamery in Salem, Schumer toured the facility and discussed possible impacts the fiscal cliff could have on dairy farmers. Known as the \"dairy cliff\", these impacts could result in reverting back to 1940's era agriculture policy—leaving farmers without any safety net.
