Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On May 4th, at Ideal Dairy Farm in Hudson Falls, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer visited Washington County and demanded that the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) protect Washington County and Upstate New York’s dairy sector from newly proposed barriers to trade with Canada. Canada has threatened to inflict damage to Upstate New York’s dairy industry by imposing limitations on the import of milk products that can be sent to Canada from U.S. producers. Schumer highlighted that dairy farmers in Washington County and throughout Upstate New York are becoming more and more reliant on the growing global market for the goods they produce. Therefore, Schumer called on the USTR and the USDA to stop Canada from walking back on previous commitments and imposing market-access restrictions on dairy products that the U.S. is already exporting to Canada.
