The Northern New York Agricultural Development Program (NNYADP) has thirteen on-farm research projects now underway at sites across the six northernmost counties of New York State, i.e., in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. An 80-plus volunteer member NNYADP Farmer Committee prioritized the research in support of northern New York’s dairy, maple, local foods, agricultural environmental conservation, farm sustainability, and regional farm-based economy. The projects are made possible by funding from the New York State Legislature through the New York State Assembly. The program most recently received $300,000 in the 2025-2026 New York State Budget.
New York State Assemblymen Billy Jones and Ken Blankenbush serve on the NYS Assembly Agriculture Committee chaired by Assemblymember Donna Lupardo.
