After a bit of research I compiled a list of internet resources that tell the story of Long Island Agriculture. This will be an ongoing list and will be updated as needed. Feel free to leave a comment if you have a resource you feel needs to be added.
Newsday’s “Farming The Land of Their Dreams”
Newsday’s “Long Island History Section”
Long Island Farm Bureau’s “Long Island’s First Industry, Farming Continues to be Important Today “
Wikipedia’s “Farm Island”
Newsday’s “Masters of Agriculture”
Cornell University’s “History of the Long Island Horticultural Research & Extension Center”
1994 Students of Bethpage High School’s “Native Americans“

Some of your newsday links are broken. I am very interested in learning more about LI ag.
I think it has a rich history and I intend to dig deeper.

It certainly has a “rich” history. Let us know what you find out. Ill fix those links. Newsday just switched up their site and all links changed. Thanks for the heads up.
