As a reminder, the due date for submitting an application for New York’s Agricultural Resiliency Against Tariffs Program is August 11, 2026.
Governor Kathy Hochul announced the $30 million Agricultural Resiliency Against Tariffs Program, designed to provide direct financial assistance to New York State agricultural producers impacted by federal tariff policies.
Eligible agricultural producers may qualify for grant funding ranging from $1,000 to $25,000. Applications are now being accepted, but the deadline to apply is quickly approaching.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Be an agricultural producer located in New York State;
- Derive at least two-thirds of federal gross income from agricultural activities; and
- Have eligibility and production data certified by a qualified financial professional, including a CPA.
In addition, applicants must submit a completed substitute Form W-9 as part of their application package.
Agricultural Income Definitions Matter
One of the most important aspects of the program is understanding what qualifies as agricultural income. The program’s definitions are nuanced and may include certain revenue sources that producers might not initially consider eligible.
The application requires certification by a qualified financial professional, such as a CPA.
