Changes in city contracting to benefit upstate farmers

Porpiglia Farms in Ulster County is selling the first apples of the season with the help of a just-purchased $2 million machine that scrubs, sorts, waxes and bags the fruit more efficiently. The technology will allow the farm to ship more of its apples during the peak season directly to Walmarts, Sam's Clubs, Costcos and, possibly, New York City government agencies - thanks to municipal rule changes meant to help upstate farmers.
