On September 23rd Senator Clinton will host "New York Farm Day" in Washington. This annual event to showcase New York agricultural products has become one of the most popular events on Capitol Hill. The array of foods and beverages is dizzying. For photos from last year, see Senator Clinton's web site.
This sentence from the press release is interesting: "Cornell University, a participant in past years, will offer a newly-formulated fruit beverage fortified with protein from skim milk, and will invite participants to suggest names for the new drink." Much of the increased demand for dairy products over the last few years has come from demand for the components of milk.
Yankee Farm Credit is one of the sponsors of "New York Farm Day."
