Abstract:
New York State’s Farmland Protection Program was enacted in 1992 as part of the Agricultural Protection Act. The program encourages counties and towns to work with farmers to promote local initiatives that help maintain the economic viability of agriculture and protect the industry’s land base. Under this program, funds are available to develop county agricultural and farmland protection plans and implement farmland protection projects.
