NEW BERLIN – Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and New York 22nd Congressional District Congressman Anthony Brindisi will visit the Sherburne Library to make a donation, and Chobani’s plant in New Berlin to discuss local agriculture issues during a roundtable discussion that will include local farmers, along with regional and national dairy producers.

According to Chobani Communications and Reputation Manager Alaynah Tombridge, the meeting will be held Wednesday afternoon, at the Chobani plant. Tombridge said the event came out of a desire from the secretary to visit agricultural communities to talk about the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement and engage with local community leaders.

Prior to the event, at 11 a.m. in the Sherburne Library, Brindisi and his wife will make a donation of books from the Library of Congress with local officials present.

According to Sherburne Public Library Manager Colleen Law-Tefft, approximately a week ago Brindisi representatives informed the library that it had been chosen for the donations.

"We found out about a week ago that Brindisi was coming into the area to make a donation to our library," said Law-Tefft. "They said they have books from the Library of Congress to donate to our library."
