NYBPA POlicy Handbook

In 2024, a group of NYBPA members began a movement of implementing a policy handbook available to NY Beef Producer Members in an effort to represent and support New York cattle producers in legislation. The policy handbook is in progress and scheduled to be available for review by the membership at the 2026 Annual Conference.  

The policy committee is currently comprised of twelve NYBPA members who meet monthly. These meetings consist of building a framework for a successful policy legacy to be built on and ensure the voices of ALL members are represented.  

If you are interested in joining the policy committee, please contact the NYBPA office.
