 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with respect to 
  the important contributions of the men and women in the number one 
         industry of New York State, the agriculture industry.

Whereas October 17, 1993 is the 12th Annual Celebration of New York Agriculture 
        known as the New York State Farm Harvest Celebration;
Whereas agriculture is New York State's largest industry with an annual farm 
        value of almost $3,000,000,000;
Whereas New York's thirty-eight thousand five hundred farms provide employment 
        for some one hundred and thirteen thousand individuals and total in-
        State food employment reaches four hundred and twenty-five thousand;
Whereas a viable and strong agricultural industry is not only beneficial to New 
        York's farm and food industry, but to the economy of New York State, 
        hundreds of local communities and to all consumers in and out of New 
        York State;
Whereas New York State is a tremendous agricultural resource base with abundant 
        rainfall, productive soils, sufficient growing season and proximity to 
        the Nation's largest markets;
Whereas New York State is a leader in the production of a variety of products 
        such as dairy, cheese, apples, grapes, onions, potatoes, cabbage, sweet 
        corn, nursery plants, tart cherries, beets, and maple syrup for the 
        United States; and
Whereas New York farms are an important provider to the Nation of a variety of 
        agricultural goods such as cattle, eggs, green beans, lettuce, 
        cauliflower, celery, poultry, grain, hay, and others: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives, 
that we honor the important contributions of New York's farmers and 
other men and women in the New York State agriculture industry.
