Schumer revealed during a visit to Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard in Dundee, New York, that decisions by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to stop collecting data on grape production vineyards in New York puts the Rochester-Finger Lakes region, the state’s grape and wine industries, and local economy, at risk. Schumer said that the Rochester-Finger Lakes is currently a major producer of wine in the U.S., but these decisions by the feds to halt data collection could derail what keeps New York’s industry competitive with California, Washington State, and the world. The senator called on USDA to first, re-include New York in USDA’s annual grape production statistics report, and second, resume the 5-year comprehensive Vineyard and Orchard Acreage Survey.</p>"}}
