The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every sector of New York State’s economy, including the agriculture industry. Unlike many industries that were doing well before the virus, New York State’s farmers were already experiencing challenges related to unfavorable weather patterns, a trade war, and plummeting commodity prices. Supporting our local agricultural producers is now more critical than ever. Attend this webinar to hear from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets about resources available to help struggling farmers and prevent the public health crisis from being a food crisis.
