Description
The Agricultural Resiliency Against Tariffs Program provides direct financial assistance to New York State agricultural producers who experienced increased costs or market losses in 2025 due to federal tariff policy changes. With $30 million appropriated in the State Budget, the program aims to stabilize and strengthen farm operations by offering payments to a wide range of producers, including cow dairy farms, livestock and livestock product producers, specialty crop growers, and aquaculture operations. The program is structured around two tracks—one for cow dairy farms and another for other eligible agricultural producers—each with specific eligibility and application requirements.
