NORTHUMBERLAND State Agriculture and Markets Commissioner Richard A. Ball on Thursday paid tribute to Edgar A. King, a former deputy state agriculture commissioner who was also involved in town government and operated one of the largest dairy farmers in Saratoga County.
“I am saddened by the loss of Edgar King, who was a tireless public servant, dedicated farmer and family man, and a true friend,” Ball said in a statement. “Edgar served as Deputy Commissioner with our Department under Governors Hugh Carey and Mario Cuomo, working to promote New York’s farmers and dairy industry and strengthen our state’s agricultural economy. We follow in his footsteps every day as we continue his work to move New York agriculture forward.”
