Which statement is the best-supported description of New York’s Farm Geography?

  • Large agricultural acreage outside major cities shows why urban population concentration does not describe statewide land use.
  • Finance is especially concentrated in New York City, while healthcare and education are major employers across more regions.
  • BLS payroll employment figures count jobs, not unique people, and are different from GDP or household-income measures.
  • Milk, apples, grapes, maple syrup, vegetables, corn, and hay show that New York agriculture is diversified.
