Climate Change Impacts on Northeast Agriculture: Overview
... The value of agriculture to the Northeast (NE) economy is often underestimated. Collectively, the NE provides a significant proportion of the total U.S. supply of dairy and maple syrup products. In upstate New York alone the total farm cash receipts approach $3 billion on an annual basis, and the st ...
