Suffolk Farms Receive State Funds to Fight Climate Change

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced $25 million for New York farmers April 1, nearly $179,000 of it for Suffolk County farms, as part of a state effort to support farmers fighting causes and effects of climate change.

The money will be used by eight Long Island farms to cover the cost of shared large equipment that spreads nutrients more efficiently, improving soil health and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
