The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri projects that the average New York dairy farm stands to receive an average payment of $15,200 annually over the approximately three and a half year life of the dairy program – an average of $76 million annually for New York farmers statewide.
