  • In October 2014, Andrew Cuomo created the "New York State New Farmers Grant Fund" to encourage the growth of agribusiness in New York. He said, "By funding as much as 50 percent of the start-up costs for young farmers, we are creating new opportunities for young farmers across the State and planting the seeds for their long-term success. I am proud to be supporting the next generation of farmers in New York, and I look forward to seeing our agricultural economy flourish for seasons and generations to come.”[1]
  • In January 2014, Cuomo allocated $21 million to help dairy farmers "produce renewable energy and improve their business operations. The funding will help dairy farmers convert farm waste to energy and develop individualized business and environmental plans to reduce operating costs and increase profitability."[2]
