Please support your local community mediation center! Last spring the court system cut the mediation budget in half; the centers in rural counties are hardest hit. We are trying to create 5000 postcards to send to Judge Lippman asking that he restore funding to our rural mediation centers. Please click here: Mediation Postcard

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.
NYSAMP is a program of the New York State Dispute Resolution Association (NYSDRA). NYSDRA is an independent, non-profit membership organization.
