Washington, D.C. - Congressman 'GT' Thompson wants to help dairy farmers. To that end, he nominated Erick Coolidge of Wellsboro to the newly created Dairy Advisory Commission which is a part of the US Department of Agriculture. In January 2010, Coolidge won the position.
Coolidge is a fourth generation dairy farmer with nearly 45 years of experience and serves as Tioga County Commissioner.
The newly created commission will address issues in the milk pricing system, dairy farmer profitability and will provide suggestions to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
Coolidge looks upon this position as a priviledge and hopes to make positive changes quickly.
