Which statement is the best-supported description of New York’s Agricultural Scale?

• New York’s 6.4 million farm acres in 2025 show that land-use importance can be large even when agriculture represents a smaller share of total state employment or GDP.
• New York’s varied geography and institutional base help support different regional specializations such as finance, logistics, agriculture, optics, and government.
• Government employment of roughly 1.53 million jobs in July 2026 reflects federal, state, and local public employment rather than a measure of government GDP.
• Payroll employment counts jobs rather than value added, productivity, income, or unique workers.
