Northern New York Agricultural Development Program Study Shows Growth Potential in Farming

From the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program:

The recently-released Northern New York Agricultural Development Program Economic Impact Report indicates growth opportunities and the value of localized on-farm research that benefits not only the diverse agricultural sectors in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties, but often has a positive impact on farms statewide.

The report offers project highlights and economic indicators under the headings of Apples, Beef, Crops, Dairy, Disease and Pest Control, Environmental Stewardship, Food Hub, Food Project Innovation, New Business Development, Maple and Birch Syrup, and Young Farmers.

The Northern New York Agricultural Development Program Economic Impact Report can be seen by going to www.nnyagdev.org/index.php/about-us/nnyadp-impact-2/ . It is accompanied by NNYADP ‘Quotables’ with comments on the value of the regional research and technical assistance program from farmers, researchers, agricultural specialists, and business owners. 


More than 100 farmers serve on the NNYADP steering committee.
