Research in support of agriculture in Northern New York is conducted on farms and at five agricultural research facilities in the region. Northern New York Agricultural Development Program (NNYADP) Co-Chair Jon Greenwood says, “Ideally, research should be conducted where the practical results of that research will be applied. The projects conducted under our growing conditions help farmers evaluate their potential to enhance yield, quality, and income opportunities for their particular management practices. NNYADP Co-Chair Joe Giroux says, “The research conducted at these Northern New York facilities and on farms offers the latest in production techniques and technology to help farmers maximize effort and income, meet consumer demand, and be good environmental stewards.”
