Did you know?
New York is the 3rd largest milk producer in the nation?
We also rank first in cottage cheese and sour cream, second in apple, cabbage and corn for
silage and third in sweet corn, maple syrup, snap beans, cauliflower and grape production.
In addition, about a quarter of our state’s land is used in agricultural production. As much as farmers provide for us, we owe it to them to give back and help the farming community. We don’t want to see our beautiful farmland developed and built upon.
