‘It's an ugly bill'; Schumer says Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' will cut SNAP for 100,000 Central New Yorkers
FULTON, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Senator Chuck Schumer was in Fulton on Tuesday, where he held a press conference following President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' passing in the House last week. The senator said the bill contains the largest cut to food assistance in American history. He detailed the devastation this bill could have in Central New York. 'Oswego County has one of the highest rates of food insecurity in all of New York. It's one of the counties hit the hardest. This is a hunger hotspot,' Schumer said. 'When it comes to feeding the hungry, this bill is anything but beautiful. It's ugly and can be devastating for Central New York in so many ways. It's not a beautiful bill; it's an ugly bill.' 'It's an ugly bill'; Schumer says Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' will cut SNAP for 100,000 Central New Yorkers Local farms off to a late start due to cold, rainy weather Candlebox and Nothing More headline Krockathon Reboot at Chevy Court It's been a wet May in Syracuse, but cool too? Syracuse man accused of killing son, girlfriend charged with highest degree of murder Tim Bryant was at the conference and shared that SNAP became a need for him after suffering a brain injury and he couldn't work. 'SNAP gave me something incredibly basic, but incredibly powerful. The ability to eat, nourish myself and focus on healing,' Bryant said. 'It's hard to explain how grounding that is when everything else is uncertain.' Brian Reeves, the owner of Reeves Farms in Baldwinsville, said these cuts would mean fewer people would receive a sufficient diet. 'We need to feed everyone in our community. A well-nourished community is a healthy community,' Reeves said. 'A healthy community is a prosperous community. It's not only a good act, it's good business and as farmers, we should be concerned about that.' The Executive Director of the Food Bank of Central New York added that one in seven people is food insecure in the area. 'We are looking at snap cuts of 9.5 billion meals off the table every year,' said Karen Belcher. 'It weakens the food assistance and health care access, threatening the well-being of neighbors working hard to thrive.' Schumer said the cuts could potentially impact over 100,000 Central New Yorkers. At the conference, he says hospital funding will be affected, and energy costs will rise if the 'Big Beautiful Bill' passes. He has spoken to his republican colleagues in the Senate to work on getting SNAP cuts taken out of the bill. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Local farms off to a late start due to cold, rainy weather
BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — It may have been sunny and dry on Tuesday, but farmers are still behind schedule after a very wet spring. Reeves Farms is taking advantage of the nice weather while it lasts. 'We do our best to try to sneak things in when the weather is nice, but you can only do so much in the few days we've had,' said Karin Reeves, co-owner of Reeves Farms. 'It's an ugly bill'; Schumer says Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' will cut SNAP for 100,000 Central New Yorkers Local farms off to a late start due to cold, rainy weather Candlebox and Nothing More headline Krockathon Reboot at Chevy Court It's been a wet May in Syracuse, but cool too? Syracuse man accused of killing son, girlfriend charged with highest degree of murder But even on days when the sun is shining, it's still not enough to make up for the rain that's fallen. 'Our crops need a certain amount of rain, but when you get into the more than two or three inches in a month, that starts to get excessive. So when we're talking about five inches this month, that's a lot, and then on top of the rain, we've had some really cold temperatures,' said Reeves.'…All of that just means that the plants are just maturing a little bit more slowly than normal.' Reeves says its strawberry fields are also behind this season. Many of the berries are still green and far from being fully developed. 'We picked strawberries on May 30th last year and right now, I am not sure when we're going to pick these. We're only three days away from May 30th and they're far from being ready yet,' said Reeves. Mother nature has also delayed planting for other crops like cucumbers and zucchini. 'We do lots of different things on the farm to try and manage the weather as best we can. But when you have a period like we did of five days of rain and cold, there's not much you can do about that. You're just waiting and hoping it gets better,' said Reeves. Despite a late start to the season, Reeves is hoping for a successful one. For updates on this year's growing season, check out Reeves Farms' Facebook page. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
