Dear Editor,<\/p>\n
As a member of the Newark Valley Town Planning Board, I work with people who are examining various aspects of planning for the future. One part of that is agriculture. <\/p>\n
We would like to have a person whose primary business is farming. There is the Farm Bureau and the Newark Valley High School\u2019s Future Farmers of America, which can provide input as well. <\/p>\n
Recently, information was presented on CreateTV about how the demand for oats is rising. Interestingly enough, Canadian farms produce more oats than American farms.<\/p>\n
So as the demand rises, what stops American farmers from considering oats as a crop? We here in upstate New York could be a part of a movement to increase oat farming.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
Douglas Willet Cornwell<\/p>\n
