Relates to the establishment of the "Farmland for a New Generation" program

S 583 establishes New York's "Farmland for a New Generation" program to support farmland access and transfer. It creates a statewide resource center (with American Farmland Trust) and regional navigators (through Cornell Cooperative Extension) to help new farmers find affordable land, assist existing farmers in succession planning, and aid landowners in connecting with farmers. The program also provides financial assistance for conservation easements and farm transitions. Funding for these services is allocated from state appropriations to the Department of Agriculture and Markets.
