We were deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of retired NYS Senator Jim Seward. Senator Seward was a friend of agriculture. His door was always open for NEAFA and he welcomed members of the Alliance into his office. He was a strong supporter of the agriculture industry and was committed to the agricultural budget priorities that NEAFA advocated for. The Senator was respected on both sides of the aisle. NEAFA President Jenny Mill said, “We appreciate Jim’s many contributions to agricultural policy in New York. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.”
