New York (State) Dept. of Agriculture and Markets.
The Long Island duck promotion program began in October, 1960, when the Long Island Duck Farmers Cooperative appealed to the Department of Agriculture and markets for assistance in recovering from a disastrous marketing situation.
Commissioner Donald J. Wickham, Assistant Director for the Division of Marketing, John L Matheson, Chief Marketing Representative, Leslie Driggs, and other marketing representatives informed New York State retailers of the situation and their assistance was requested to help increase the consumption of ducklings.
