A small amount of the millions spent by the state on a farm program will come to the North Country.
$25 million has been handed out to support some of New York’s farmers with agricultural water quality conservation projects. This record level of taxpayer funding is part of the State’s Agricultural Nonpoint Control Program. Most of the money, over $7.8 million, went to the Finger Lakes region with just under $600 thousand being awarded to the Clinton County Soil and Water Conservation District to work with one farm in the Lake Champlain Watershed. The program is administered by the Department of Agriculture and the State Soil and Water Conservation Committee.
