[Public Comment]
WE HAVE A QUORUM. WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER TODAY, BEN SIMONS. BIG BEN, EXCUSE ME. HOW'S THAT? WE OKAY? CAN YOU HEAR ME? ALL RIGHT. ARE WE DOING THAT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I, THE DAIRY PRINCESS AMBASSADORS THIS YEAR ARE VERY JUNIOR JUNIOR YOUNG LADIES, AND THEY'RE STILL IN SCHOOL. SO I'M VERY HONORED TO BE THE FIRST SPEAKER. SO JUNE IS DAIRY MONTH.AND SO I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU A REPORT ON THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY. AND I FIGURED JUNE DAIRY MONTH IS A GOOD TIME TO DO THAT. SO FIRST OF ALL, THE WINTER, I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU, BUT I'M GOING TO ANYWAY. THE WINTER ON THE FARMS WAS VERY, VERY, VERY ROUGH THIS WINTER. OVER A HUNDRED BARNS THAT I'M AWARE OF HAVE GONE DOWN IN ONEIDA COUNTY FROM CAMDEN RIGHT ON DOWN THROUGH TO BASICALLY BARNEVELD AREA. WE HAD OVER 300 PLUS INCHES OF SNOW. IT STARTED SNOWING ON THE SECOND DAY OF JANUARY AND NEVER STOPPED TILL THE 1ST OF MARCH. EVERYONE SHOVELED ROOFS AND YOU READ THE MEDIA AND SEEN IT THAT A LOT OF BARNS COLLAPSED, A LOT OF CATTLE PASSED AWAY, AND I'M NOT PROUD TO SAY, BUT WE ACTUALLY LOST SOME HORSES IN THE COUNTY. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I SAY THANK YOU TO THE COUNTY LEGISLATURE. JERRY AND TONY PICENTE STAFF. WHEN THE BARNS STARTED COLLAPSING, PEOPLE STARTED CALLING AND THEY CALLED ME. I GOT A LOT OF CALLS ABOUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THESE BUILDINGS? AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S OFFICE AND THE WASTE MANAGEMENT A LOT OF FARMERS ARE ABLE TO CARRY, AND I'M SAD TO SAY, TAKE A LOT OF THE ANIMALS THAT JUST DIED IN THE BARNS UP TO THE LANDFILL AT A VERY REDUCED RATE. SO I WANT TO PICENTE KNOWS THAT. THANK YOU. SECOND THE SPRING. LOOK OUTDOORS, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN. AND THEN WHEN IT DOESN'T RAIN, WE'RE CONTENDING WITH THE SMOKE FROM CANADA. THE PROBLEM WE'RE HAVING IS NOT ONLY IS THE RAIN BEEN CONSISTENT IN THE SMOKE, BUT THE FIELDS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRY OUT FOR US TO GET OUR CORN AND SOYBEANS AND THE WHEAT IN. AND EVERY FARMER AROUND. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE IN NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY, BOONVILLE, YOU'RE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BRIDGEWATER.
AUGUSTA. EVERYONE IS RUNNING 2 TO 3 WEEKS BEHIND ON THEIR PLANTING OF THEIR CROPS, AND NOT ONLY ARE THEY 2 TO 3 WEEKS BEHIND EVERY FARMER I TALKED TO, THEY'RE AT 50 TO 60% OF PLANTING WHEN THEY SHOULD BE ALL DONE PLANTING AND ALREADY STARTING TO HARVEST HAY. SO IT'S TURNING OUT TO BE A VERY ROUGH SPRING, JUST AS BAD AS THE WINTER. THIRD, THE UNCERTAINTY A LOT OF US FARMERS THAT GROW CROPS AND MILK COWS. I DON'T MILK COWS ANYMORE. I RETIRED AFTER 40 YEARS, BUT I STILL RAISE HEIFERS. I GOT SOME BEEF CATTLE. WE GROW 600 ACRES OF CORN, 300 ACRES OF SOYBEANS UP THERE IN NORTHERN PART OF ONEIDA COUNTY. WE ALL LIVE BY WHAT THEY CALL A FARM BILL OUT OF WASHINGTON, D.C. WE ARE STILL LIVING ON THE 2018 NUMBERS ON THE FARM BILL. THEY DON'T WORK, SO THE PROGRAMS ARE INADEQUATE RIGHT NOW. THAT'S AN UNCERTAINTY. WE'RE ALL JUST GOING FORWARD DOING WHAT WE DO. BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM WITH WHAT'S COMING OUT OF WASHINGTON. WE'RE HOPING THAT THE NEW ADMINISTRATION WILL FIX IT. THERE IS A PROPOSAL OUT THERE IN WASHINGTON TIED TO THE FARM BILL THAT IS GOING TO SUPPOSEDLY CHANGE THE PRICE OF MILK TO THE DAIRY FARMERS. THEY'RE SUPPOSEDLY GOING TO HELP THE DAIRY FARMER. THIS IS ME PERSONALLY TELLING YOU, WHEN THE GOVERNMENT COMES TO A FARMER AND
[00:05:03]
SAYS, WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE PRICE OF MILK AND HELP OUT THE FARMER RUN. BUT THAT'S WHAT'S ON THE DOCKET. SO ENOUGH OF THE BAD STUFF OR THE SAD STUFF I SHOULD HAVE SAID THE BRIGHT SPOT HERE IN ONEIDA COUNTY, WE STILL HAVE 100 PLUS DAIRY FARMERS IN ONEIDA COUNTY, THE LARGEST DAIRY FARM STILL IN ONEIDA COUNTY IS THE CURTAIN BROTHERS DOWN IN BRIDGEWATER. THEY'RE CURRENTLY MILKING 3000 COWS, THE SMALLEST FARMS IN ONEIDA COUNTY ARE THE AMISH FARMS UP THERE. IN MY AREA THERE, THERE'S ONE FARM THAT'S MILKING 15 COWS WITH JUST FAMILY MEMBERS BY HAND. SO THAT'S THE LARGEST TO THE BIGGEST OR, EXCUSE ME, THE LARGEST, DOWN TO THE SMALLEST. THERE IS CURRENTLY 18,000 COWS IN ONEIDA COUNTY. AND RIGHT NOW, THE BEST THAT I CAN COME UP WITH IS RIGHT NOW, 150,000 GALLONS OF MILK IS BEING MADE EVERY SINGLE DAY HERE IN ONEIDA COUNTY. IF YOU MULTIPLY THAT BY THE PRICE OF MILK, IT COMES OUT TO BE $130 MILLION RIGHT NOW, IN A YEAR THAT IS PRODUCING ONEIDA COUNTY ON THE FARMS, THAT IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED AND RECALCULATED, AND THE ECONOMICS THAT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES THAT FLOWS THROUGH. SO IT IS STILL A VERY SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MILK. THIRD, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECOGNIZE THE DONATO FAMILY FOR OPENING UP THEIR FARM FOR FARM FEST. THEY HAD THAT LAST WEEK OR SO AGO. I GUESS IT WAS I WAS THERE, I DON'T REMEMBER THE DAYS. THERE WAS 600 SCHOOL AGE KIDS THAT WENT TO THE FARM, AND THEY WENT THROUGH ALL THE BOOTHS AND EVERYTHING TO UNDERSTAND HOW DAIRY WORKS AND THE CROPS AND WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE MILK, GROWING CROPS, FEEDING COWS, CARING FOR COWS AND ALL THAT.AND THEN AT NIGHT, IT WAS THE LARGEST THAT ANYONE CAN EVER REMEMBER. THERE WAS 3000 PEOPLE CAME THAT NIGHT, SO IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. TOMORROW, THE DALE FARM UP IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS UP IN STEUBEN, IS GOING TO BE HOSTING AN OPEN HOUSE TO 100 KINDERGARTNERS FROM THE HOLLAND PATENT AND REMSEN SCHOOL, AND I WILL BE THERE GIVING THEM ALL HAY RIDES. AND IT'S THE SAME SORT OF SETUP. THEY'LL HAVE DIFFERENT BOOTHS THAT THEY GO AROUND, AND THEY WILL BE TEACHING THE YOUNG KIDS WHERE THEIR MILK COMES FROM AT A LOWER LEVEL, BUT IT'LL BE FOR THE LITTLE KIDS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE SURE WE WANT TO THANK. AND I KNOW SHE'S HERE. I SAW HER COME IN. WE WANT TO THANK THE PARTNERS THAT HELPED THAT FARM FEST, THE CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION FARM BUREAU WAS HUGE IN IT. AND THE UNITED COUNTY DAIRY PROMOTION, THOSE THEIR PARTNERS THAT HELPED MAKE THAT THAT EVENT SO SUCCESSFUL. THE STATE BUDGET. IF YOU WATCH THE NEWSPAPERS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, I HAVE AN ARTICLE. THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE, RICHARD BALL, WAS JUST OVER THE ONEIDA COUNTY LINE LAST WEEK, AND HE ANNOUNCED THAT THE GOVERNOR AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE PUT IN LIKE 21 OR 22 MILLION. IT'S IN THE MILLIONS DOLLARS INTO THE DAIRY MODERNIZATION GRANT PROGRAM. AND BETWEEN RIGHT HERE IN ONEIDA COUNTY, IN THE MOHAWK VALLEY, THERE'S 11 FARMS THAT APPLIED FOR THE DAIRY MODERNIZATION PROGRAM. THAT INCLUDES PUTTING IN BIGGER MILK TANKS, BETTER, MORE CAPACITY COOLING SYSTEMS MAKE THEIR FARMS MORE EFFICIENT GENERATORS ON THE FARM. SO WHEN THE STORMS COME AND THE POWER GOES OUT, THEY CAN STILL COOL THE MILK. HERE IN ONEIDA COUNTY ALONE, 2.1 MILLION WILL BE INVESTED ON FARMS RIGHT OUT OF THAT STATE BUDGET PROGRAM. THE DAIRY FARMS IN ONEIDA COUNTY ARE USING UP RIGHT NOW. THE DAIRY FARMS OF ALL THE TOTAL ACRES OF LAND IN ONEIDA COUNTY, THEY'RE USING UP ROUGHLY THERE'S 120,000 ACRES OF FARMLAND. THAT'S THE NUMBER. I WAS ABLE TO FIND.
30,000 ACRES OF THAT IS BEING USED TO PRODUCE MILK ON THE DAIRY INDUSTRY CURRENTLY, TODAY IS EMPLOYING 500 PEOPLE, PRESENTLY JUST IN ONEIDA COUNTY TO PROCESS ALL OF MILK AND ALL THAT SORT OF THING. NEXT ALL, I'D LIKE ALL OF YOU TO OPEN UP. I BROUGHT YOU ALL A SCHEDULE, THE BOONVILLE FAIR, AND AS YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. BUT IF YOU WOULD, COULD YOU WRITE IN ON THE 24TH? I BELIEVE IT IS THURSDAY. THE 24TH IS YOUR BOONVILLE, ONEIDA COUNTY LEGISLATIVE BARBECUE. AND YOU'LL SEE AT 4:00, I'M GOING TO HAVE MY BEST OF ONEIDA COUNTY AUCTION THAT I DO EVERY YEAR. I'VE BEEN GIVING THE MONEY THE PAST FEW YEARS TO THE CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION FOR THE FOR ITS YOUTH PROGRAM. THIS YEAR, WE TARGETED THE FFA PROGRAMS HERE IN ONEIDA COUNTY. I BELIEVE THERE'S SIX OF THEM THAT ARE GOING TO BE THE BENEFIT RECIPIENT OF THEM. FUNDS
[00:10:01]
USUALLY RUNS ABOUT 2000, $2,500 WILL BE SPLIT UP AMONGST THEM. AND WHAT'S SPECIAL. SO 4:00 WILL BE MY PIE AUCTION. 5:00 IS THE SOCIAL HOUR ON THURSDAY. I BELIEVE IT'S THE 24TH. THEN AT 6 P.M. IS GOING TO BE. ARE YOU READY? I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVERYBODY THERE. AND I AM PROUD TO SAY I GET EMOTIONAL SOMETIMES, BUT I AM PROUD TO SAY THIS YEAR THE LEGISLATIVE BARBECUE WILL BE FOR ALL THE SUPPORT THAT OUR CHAIRMAN, JERRY FERRINI. EXCUSE ME, JERRY, THE JERRY FERRINI HAS GIVEN US OVER THE YEARS. SO THAT BARBECUE IS GOING TO BE FOR ALL THE SUPPORT.JERRY. SO YOU BRING YOUR WIFE, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR GRANDCHILDREN, BRING EVERYBODY. IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY SPECIAL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE TRY TO ATTEND THAT, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY SPECIAL. SECOND OF ALL, ARE THE LAST THING I REALLY HAVE TO SAY HERE IS THE ONEIDA COUNTY TOURISM. SARAH FOSTER CARLISLE, LET'S GO WITH SARAH FOSTER. IF YOU READ THAT BOOK THAT CAME OUT, WHICH I HAVE RIGHT HERE, I WENT TO THE TOURISM. ANNUAL MEETING THAT SHE HAD DOWN HERE IN UTICA. THE VERY FIRST THING JUST HAPPENED TO BE WHERE I OPENED IT UP, CAME TO AGRICULTURE. SO I WANT TO THANK HER TEAM AND WHOEVER'S INVOLVED IN THIS ONEIDA COUNTY TOURISM, DISCOVER ONEIDA COUNTY AND THE HARVEST ONEIDA COUNTY AGRITOURISM GUIDE FOR ALL OF THE RECOGNITION YOU GUYS HAVE GIVEN AGRICULTURE. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU. AND FOR ALLOWING ME TO COME AND GIVE YOU THIS AGRICULTURE REPORT. AND I WILL BE BACK IN, EXCUSE ME, IN JULY WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOONVILLE FAIR TO GIVE YOU A FORMAL REQUEST AND TO TAKE RESERVATIONS FOR EVERYBODY THAT'S GOING TO COME. MISTER CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU. WHO HAS A QUESTION? QUICK QUESTION.
YES. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT IT WILL BE ANNOUNCED TODAY. DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE FROM AN AGRICULTURAL FIGHT? THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP HELP SUPPLY MILK FOR THE FOR THESE ONGOING EFFORTS. YEP. THAT ACTUALLY IS A VERY VERY VERY GREAT THING. IT IS. I DID HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A CONCERN, BUT AFTER TALKING WITH THE OWNER OF CHOBANI, I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR 12 YEARS BECAUSE I USED TO BE THE TREASURER AND THE MARKETER FOR THE MILK FOR BOONVILLE FARMERS COOPERATIVE, SO I HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. WHEN HE GETS UP TO TAKE IN 180 LOADS OF MILK A DAY, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE IN 180 TRACTOR TRAILER LOADS OF MILK A DAY. CURRENTLY, ONEIDA COUNTY ITSELF IS ONLY PRODUCING 20 A DAY, SO IT'S GOING TO CREATE A VACUUM. BUT YES, THEY WILL GET THE MILK, HE SAID. THE MILK IS ABOUT 11 HOURS AWAY. IN A CIRCLE OF 11 HOURS. THEY WILL GET IT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A GREAT THING. WITH CHOBANI COMING HERE TO ONEIDA COUNTY. LET ME TELL YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IF YOU EVER GO TO CHENANGO COUNTY, I'VE BEEN THERE. I DO THE ANNOUNCING AT THEIR FAIR FOR MOTORSPORTS. THERE IS VERY LITTLE ORGANIZATIONS IN CHENANGO COUNTY THAT DO NOT HAVE CHOBANI FINGERPRINT. FEW YEARS AGO, A FEW YEARS AGO, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOWN THERE NEEDED TO BUY AN AMBULANCE. THEY RAN SHORT AT THEIR FUNDRAISER. CHOBANI STEPPED UP, WROTE THE CHECK. YOU GO DOWN TO THE LIBRARY DOWN THERE. CHOBANI PAID FOR THE FULL UPDATE AND EVERYTHING TO THE LIBRARY SYSTEM. YOU GO DOWN TO THE CHENANGO COUNTY FAIR AND EVERY ONE OF THEM BUILDINGS HAS A PLAQUE LIKE YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE OF YOU HERE TODAY WITH YOUR NAME ON IT, THANKING CHOBANI FOR THEIR SUPPORT FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO DOWN THERE. WE ARE VERY STEVE, THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY IS I LOOK AT CHOBANI COMING TO ONEIDA COUNTY. THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION FOR ECONOMICS IS WHAT THEY CALL A TRANSFER OF WEALTH. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THE MILK FROM CENTRAL NEW YORK ALL AROUND US, LOWVILLE ALL THE WAY TO CANADIAN BORDER, ALL THE WAY DOWN SOUTH.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO BRING IT IN, THEY'RE GOING TO PROCESS A PRODUCT, AND THEY'RE GOING TO SELL IT ALL OVER THE NORTHEAST, NO QUESTION. ALL OVER THE EAST COAST, ALL THAT MONEY THAT IS GENERATED WILL FLOW BACK TO THEIR CHOBANI PLANT HERE THROUGH EMPLOYEES, THE BUYING OF THE MILK. AND I AM SURE KNOWING CHOBANI THAT THEY WILL REINVEST IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS A WIN WIN NOT ONLY FOR THE JOBS, BUT IT IS A WIN WIN FOR THE FARMERS AND THE COMMUNITY OVERALL. THANK YOU STEVE. THAT WAS A GREAT THING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU CHAIRMAN. UNDER RESOLUTIONS.
[Resolutions]
INTRODUCTORY NUMBER 123 IS THE APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO A GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES AND NEW YORK STATE THROUGH ITS OFFICE OF[00:15:02]
CHILDREN AND FAMILY. DO I HAVE A SECOND? DISCUSSION. CALL THE VOTE.YES. 21. YEAH. WAS CARRIED. INTRODUCTORY NUMBER 124 IS APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND DANIEL C GOODMAN. DO I HAVE A SECOND? DISCUSSION. CALL THE VOTE. VOTE IS CARRIED. INTRODUCTORY NUMBER 125 IS THE APPROVAL OF A LEADING AND LEAD AND LEAD PROGRAM GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND THE HOUSING TRUST FUND CORPORATION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? DISCUSSION. STEPHEN. THANK YOU.
WHEN WE WERE TALKING EARLIER, YOU WERE SAYING THAT THE LEAD LEVEL HAD BEEN ADJUSTED AND THEY LOWERED THEM. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN GIVE ME INFORMATION ON WHERE THE LEAD LEVELS USED TO BE AND WHAT WE'VE ADJUSTED IT TO AND WHEN WE'RE TESTING CHILDREN? YES. IN IN 19. NO, 2019, THEY, THEY WERE 15 MICROGRAMS PER DECILITER OF VOLUME OF BLOOD AND NOW THEY ARE FIVE. AND AT THAT TIME OUR WORKLOAD WENT UP QUITE A BIT AND SO DID THE NUMBER OF CASES. AND THAT WOULD BE THE ACTION LEVEL TO CREATE A LEAD POISON BLOOD POISONING CASE AND VISIT A HOME. AND THE WORKLOAD THE, THE NUMBER OF CASES IS STILL ABOVE THE LEVEL OF 15, BUT IT'S GONE DOWN QUITE A BIT. I COULD I COULD PROVIDE YOU WITH GRAPHS SHOWING THAT DATA. CAN YOU ALSO SHOW THE RESULTS OF WHAT IT MEANS WHEN THE KIDS ARE HAVING LEAD POISONING, THE DELAYS THAT THEY'RE HAVING THAT ARE. OH ABSOLUTELY SURE. YEAH. THE DELAYS INCLUDE WITH VERY HIGH LEVELS, IMPAIRMENT IN HEARING, NOT VISION SO MUCH. BUT I THE DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS AND THEN THEY'RE BEHIND IN SCHOOL.
SO THOSE ARE THE MAJOR MAJOR ISSUES RIGHT THERE. BUT I CAN GET YOU THAT INFORMATION OKAY.
THANK YOU. ELSA. CALL THE VOTE. I'M SORRY, DAN, JUST TO FOLLOW UP, WHY THE MODIFICATION FROM 15 TO 5? DID THEY FIND OUT WITH A STUDY OR STUDIES THAT THAT IN BETWEEN THE 14 TO SIX THRESHOLD OF LEAD IN YOUR IN YOUR BLOOD SYSTEM. WELL, STILL HAVING A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON. YES. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. IT ACTUALLY WAS HIGHER THAN 15 YEARS YEARS EARLIER. BUT IT'S GONE DOWN PROGRESSIVELY OVER TIME. AND NO NO LEVEL OF LEAD IN IN THE BODY IS SAFE LEVEL. THE GOAL, THE IDEAL GOAL IS TO GET IT DOWN TO ZERO. THAT WOULD BE UNREALISTIC EXPECTATION. SO FIVE IS BASICALLY THE LIMIT OF WHAT THE INSTRUMENTS CAN DETECT. NOW IT MAY BE LOWER IN THE FUTURE WHEN THEY GET BETTER. PROCESS TO MEASURE, YOU KNOW, MORE ACCURATE WITH LOWER LEVELS. AND BASICALLY WE CARRY TO ADD TO YOUR TO MY RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION, BASICALLY WE CARRY CASES NOW A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN WE USED TO. AND THE REASON IS THE LOWER THE LEVEL, THE MORE DIFFICULT IT IS TO DROP THE LEVEL TO BELOW FIVE. SO INSTEAD OF WHEN IT WAS 15, IT WAS I WON'T SAY IT WAS EASY, BUT TO DROP THE LEVEL TO DROP BELOW AT THAT TIME WAS TEN BEFORE HE COULD RELEASE THE CASE. NOW, NOW IT'S QUITE A BIT LOWER. SO. IS THERE DATA TO SUPPORT THE LOWERING OF THE BLOOD LEAD LEVELS? YES, THERE IS. OTHER STATES HAD LOWERED IT DOWN TO FIVE PRIOR TO NEW YORK STATE, AND NOW IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE NORM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THANK YOU. YEAH. YOU'RE WELCOME.
