New York State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball delivered the State of Agriculture Address last Thursday at the 194th New York State Agricultural Society Annual Forum, outlining the agricultural industry’s progress in 2025.
The forum, which is traditionally the oldest and largest agricultural meeting of its kind in the state, took place at the Wegmans Conference Center in Rochester. This year’s address was accompanied by a series of videos, showcasing the on-the-ground impact of the state’s efforts to support the many diverse sectors of New York agriculture, including school food, agricultural education, dairy and environmental protections.
