Marked turn for the better in New York agriculture
New York state agriculture shows a notable rebound in fruit and vegetable production and acreage after a century-long decline. Since the mid-1970s rising oil prices and higher diesel costs shifted farming costs, expanding acreage and output. Last year vegetable value reached 183 million dollars, up 38 percent, with many farmers converting dairy land and expanding fruit tree planting. Local growers like the Crist Brothers and Henry Smith illustrate broader shifts toward smaller, diversified operations and roadside markets. Columbia and Ulster counties report increased produce acreage and a rising number of young farmers entering the field.
