"Mediation was great; it got us talking, and that’s what we needed. We may be in the same boat as
before, but now we have a much clearer understanding."

What is Agricultural Mediation?
Agricultural mediation is a tool for farmers and others in the agricultural community to communicate clearly, negotiate effectively, and to find fair and workable solutions. Decisions are made by the people directly involved, and not by mediators or other outside authorities.
NYSAMP services are usually free and always affordable, thanks to the generous support of our funders and the dispute resolution community.
Mediation is confidential and voluntary. Research shows that over 80% of mediation results in agreements; NYSAMP mediations have an even higher resolution rate.
NYSAMP works with affiliated mediation centers to provide services for every county in New York. Trained and experienced NYSAMP mediators provide a powerful way to solve problems between parties, and to avoid the high costs of escalating conflict or litigation.
NYSAMP staff is available for consultation about specific situations that may benefit from mediation, and to provide additional information about referrals.
In addition to mediation services, NYSAMP also provides training opportunities in communication skills, negotiation, conflict management, mediation and facilitation.
