Justification
This bill seeks to insure proper regulations of deer farms and hunting ranches in New York State. Deer and elk farmers continue to seek additional opportunities to manage risk and increase profitability through diversification of farm commodity production. Developing and establishing non-traditional livestock operations is one of many ways to help keep land protected. New York's deer and elk farms constitute a young industry, but one already contributing in a way to the state's niche agricultural economy. New York's deer and elk farms put money back into the state by providing economic development opportunities for rural areas as well as many small family farming opportunities for more suburban or exurban areas where open space preservation is critical. The deer and elk farm industry is growing in NYS being among one of the top ten states. This legislation would help to ensure the regulation and protection of hunting ranch facilities in New York State.
