New York Definition of Farming

The New York State definition of Farming ---

Farming includes the operation or management of livestock,
dairy, poultry, fish, fruit, fur-bearing animal, and vegetable
(commonly referred to as truck) farms. Farming also includes the
operation or management of plantations, ranches, ranges, and
orchards. For example, farming includes, but is not limited to, the
raising or production of the following commodities:
— field crops, including corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, hay,
potatoes, and dry beans;
— fruits, including apples, peaches, grapes, cherries, and
berries;
— vegetables, whether raised conventionally or hydroponically,
including tomatoes, snap beans, cabbage, carrots, beets, and
onions;
— horticultural specialties, including nursery stock, ornamental
shrubs and ornamental trees, and flowers;
— livestock and livestock products, including cattle, sheep, hogs,
goats, horses, poultry, farmed deer, farmed buffalo, ostrich,
emus, fur-bearing animals, milk, and eggs;
— aquaculture products, including fish, fish products, water
plants, and shellfish (provided the aquaculture products are
grown and raised as opposed to merely being harvested or
caught);

Farming also includes:
1) the sale of wine from a licensed farm winery as provided in
Article 6 of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law,
2) the commercial boarding and training of horses as defined in
section 301(13) of the Agriculture and Markets Law, and
3) the growing of Christmas trees.

Nothing about Industrial Wind Power Production whatsoever!

Wind “Farm”? It doesn’t exist.
