MONTICELLO, NY — Farmers across New York will get a little relief, thanks to a bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The new law will allow a farm vehicle to travel up to 25 miles on a public highway from its point of sale to the farm. Previously, farm vehicles could only travel between portions of a farm, to a municipal landfill, or to a licensed repair shop.

“Our farmers are struggling, and the cost of transporting a tractor or other equipment by trailer from where it’s purchased back to the farm is unnecessary, burdensome and, quite frankly, illogical,” said Assemblywoman Gunther.
