State Sen. Darrel Aubertine is questioned about his bill (S.1676) to use state funds to create "urban greenmarkets" in NYC. However, Aubertine included no funding in the bill, and the issue was not taken up through the normal budget process, so it's unclear how the bill will help struggling farmers, as Aubertine intends.

Sen. Cathy Young, past chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, also worries that Aubertine is trying to supplant an existing Republican program designed to help Upstate farmers directly by sending that money to NYC.
