        HONORING Alleghany Farm Services upon the occasion
        of  its designation as recipient of the Agricultural
        Business of the Year Award  by  the  Genesee  County
        Chamber of Commerce

  WHEREAS,  It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize that
the quality and character of life in the  communities  across  New  York
State  are  enhanced  by the concerned and dedicated efforts of business
organizations and individuals that generously contribute to the  welfare
of the community and its citizenry; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Alleghany  Farm  Services  upon  the  occasion  of  its  designation  as
recipient  of the Agricultural Business of the Year Award by the Genesee
County Chamber of Commerce to be celebrated at its  50th  Annual  Awards
Ceremony on Saturday, March 12, 2022; and

  WHEREAS,  Alleghany Farm Services (AFS) is receiving this auspicious
award for its demonstrated growth and commitment to Genesee County; and

  WHEREAS, With its headquarters in  Genesee  County,  Alleghany  Farm
Services  was founded by Drew Klotzbach in 1983 as Klotzbach Excavating,
mainly working on small residential and commercial  jobs;  Drew  quickly
grew  the  company  to  focus  on  large  commercial projects, including
installing farm drainage systems; and

  WHEREAS, Since its inception nearly four decades ago, Alleghany Farm
Services has grown from a company with just a handful of equipment and a
whole lot of hard work and determination, into the largest farm drainage
company in New York State alongside his son, Chad; and

  WHEREAS, Chad  Klotzbach  joined  the  business  as  its  Operations
Manager  in  2010,  after  completing  his Civil Engineering degree from
Clarkson University; just one year later,  under  his  able  leadership,
Alleghany  Farm  Services  added  three  Trimble  RTK GPS systems to its
drainage business; and

  WHEREAS, Today, Alleghany Farm Services  is  a  leader  in  GPS  and
digital  mapping, leveraging technology to produce the highest return on
investment for AFS clients; and

  WHEREAS, Always striving to maintain great working relationships  in
the  local  agricultural community, Alleghany Farm Services continues to
grow and has expanded its home base and buildings to  Basom,  New  York;
and

  WHEREAS,  Furthermore,  Alleghany  Farm  Services  has  expanded its
business footprint in 2021, now serving clients in more than six  states
beyond the State of New York; and

  WHEREAS, With a steadfast and unremitting commitment to staying well
informed  of  the  latest industry technologies, Alleghany Farm Services

ensures it is providing its customers with the best  product  available,
delivering  on-grade,  on-time  work  with  a  focus on conservation and
strong ecological standards; and

  WHEREAS,  The  success  of  Alleghany  Farm  Services  is  in direct
correlation to the efforts of Drew and Chad Klotzbach, as  well  as  its
dedicated   staff,   whose   involvement   is,   and  always  has  been,
characterized by an impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm,  and
an  uncompromising  standard of excellence in all endeavors on behalf of
the business and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS, It is  with  great  pleasure  that  this  Legislative  Body
acknowledges    this   exceptional   agricultural   business   and   its
contributions to the local and State economies, fully confident that  it
will  continue  to enjoy the sparkling successes it has experienced thus
far; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
honor  Alleghany  Farm  Services upon the occasion of its designation as
recipient of the Agricultural Business of the Year Award by the  Genesee
County Chamber of Commerce; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Alleghany Farm Services.
