NY DOT takes wrong turn on road plan

Farm Bureau: NY DOT takes wrong turn on road plan

One farmer says having to route trucks around the restrictions would be a "logistics nightmare." (The Trucker file photo)

The New York Farm Bureau said Thursday a Paterson administration proposal originally aimed at keeping garbage haulers from rumbling through picturesque Finger Lakes communities will hurt the state's agriculture industry.

The bureau, which claims some 30,000 members, said the state Department of Transportation's move to ban large trucks from certain rural roads will add millions of dollars in costs to growers and dairy farmers already struggling with the economic downturn.

”Having to route everything around these restrictions is going to be a logistics nightmare,” said Mark Nicholson, co-owner of his family's third-generation fruit farm in Geneva in the Finger Lakes region. “We're a rural-based business, and we route our goods on rural roads. That's the only way we can get to our markets in an efficient way.”
