Upstate Farms Important

The visit following testimony before the House Agriculture Committee in February where, in under questioning by U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19th, Perdue said the USDA has no responsibility to support Upstate farms if they were too small to be financially viable.  At Chobani, an international farm-product success story, Perdue appeared on a panel with U.S. Rep.
