Agricultural Enhancement Board

About the Board

The Ontario County Agricultural Enhancement Board (AEB) was established under the New York Agriculture & Markets, Article 25AA, Section 302. The board meets throughout the year and is made up of active farmers, agri-business owners, agriculture preservation organizations, county and district employees, and a Board of Supervisors representative.

The board works with the agricultural community, various levels of government, and the private sector to promote agriculture and agri-businesses, and preserve and protect farmland.

The Ontario County Agricultural Enhancement Board meets at 7:00 pm at the Ontario County Municipal Building, 20 Ontario Street, Third Floor Conference Room.
