Hochul proposes $30 million in tariff relief for New York farmers in State of the State

BY Emily Kenny Central NY Spectrum News1

PUBLISHED 3:45 PM ET Jan. 13, 2026

As part of her annual State of the State address, Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed $30 million for farmers in New York who have been impacted by tariffs. 

“Agriculture is the cornerstone of New York’s economy, yet the federal government’s misguided tariff policy has threatened the competitiveness of our farmers. By inciting trade wars with key international partners like Canada and Mexico, federal actions have driven up the cost of essential resources like seeds, fertilizer and necessary machinery while creating market instability,” Hochul wrote in prepared remarks.  

The $30 million would be direct payments to specialty crop growers, livestock producers and dairy farmers. Hochul also proposed another round of funding for the Dairy Modernization Act, which gives funding to dairy farmers to make improvements to equipment. She wants to extend the refundable investment tax credit.

“Extending the refundable investment tax credit will also provide farmers with necessary financial support to offset the increased costs of doing business caused by federal tariff action,” she said.

Hochul said she wants to increase the state’s commitment to Agri-Business Child Development (ABCD) centers, which provide child care to farm families.

Dairy farmer and chairman of the Northeast Dairy Producers Association Keith Kimball said the investments from the state have been critical in the expansion of New York’s dairy industry.

“It’s been our priority from the start to make the investment tax credit permanent and the governor’s proposal to extend the [credit] is a significant step forward as it will support long-term investments that continue to improve farm efficiencies and milk production to meet demand,” Kimball said in a statement.

He also backed tariff relief as a way to help the state’s farmers.

“The [funding], which resulted from Gov. Hochul and [Commissioner of Agriculture Richard Ball] working with our industry to understand the economic impacts of tariffs, is a welcomed investment to help family farms working on razor-thin margins,” Kimball said. “These targeted investments are important not only to the viability of multi-generational dairy farms and all of our industry partners but to the next generation of farmers looking to strengthen their roots here in the Empire State.”

FDA Issues Urgent Recall Of Cheeses And Vegetables

By iHeartRadio

Dec 19, 2025

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued urgent recalls for certain cheeses and vegetables due to potential contamination and undeclared allergens. Boss Dairy Farms is recalling a lot of its Charlevoix Cheese Company 8oz Mild Cheddar Cheese, which may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause severe illness, particularly in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. The cheese, packaged in clear plastic with UPC 850056642057 and lot number 13220025, was distributed in Michigan. No illnesses have been reported yet, but consumers are advised to destroy or return the product for a refund.

The recall was initiated after routine testing revealed the presence of listeria. According to the FDA, listeria can cause serious infections, with symptoms like fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues, and it poses significant risks to pregnant women, potentially leading to miscarriage or stillbirth.

In a separate recall, A.S.K. Foods, LLC in Pennsylvania is recalling 32oz containers of Publix Rice & Pigeon Peas due to undeclared soy, which can trigger severe allergic reactions. This product was sold exclusively in Publix stores in Florida.

The FDA urges consumers who have purchased these products to return them to the store or dispose of them. For more information on the recalls, visit the FDA's website.

What to do if you purchased recalled shredded cheese products

On its website, the FDA urges consumers to check their homes for any recalled food items and to avoid giving the product to others, "such as a food bank or a pet."

"Often, recalled products may be returned to the store where they were purchased for a full refund," the agency states. "If not, dispose of the product properly -- if it's contaminated, wrap it securely before putting it in the trash."

The FDA also states that consumers should thoroughly clean and sanitize any surfaces that may have come into contact with contaminated food and to contact their health care provider to report any symptoms if they believe they may have consumed recalled food.

Why the Creamer Was Recalled

Danone Wave, owner of International Delight, issued the recall out of an abundance of caution after it was discovered that the creamers didn't meet quality standards and were spoiling early. This led to an issue with the texture of the product, according to a release issued by wholesaler SpartanNash.

The recall was labeled a Class II threat on March 12. Per the FDA, a Class II recall is "a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."

Two International Delight products are included in the recall. Here's how to identify them.

Why record-high egg prices won’t go down anytime soon —

and it’s not just due to bird flu

The CPI inflation report shows that egg prices rose another 10% in February. Here’s what goes into the cost of eggs, and what’s keeping them so expensive.

ByMyra P. Saefong

Published: March 12, 2025 at 3:43 p.m. ET

A lot goes into the production of eggs — and with the Trump administration’s tariff policies potentially affecting costs for chicken feed and equipment, bird flu isn’t the only reason U.S. consumers may continue to pay high prices for eggs at the grocery store.

The average price of a dozen large eggs rose to an all-time high of $5.90 in February, up from around $2.50 a year earlier, according to U.S. consumer-price index data released Wednesday. The price rose just over 10% in February, following an increase of 15% in January.

“Retail egg prices are determined by multiple factors, including supply and demand, production costs, regulatory changes and potential market manipulation,” Sharmah Seakar, senior procurement lead at Efficio, a global procurement and supply-chain consultancy, told MarketWatch.

As soon as he took office, President Trump signed an executive order targeting inflation and high housing costs. But does the president truly have the power to deliver on his campaign promises to lower consumer prices and mortgage rates?

The high prices for the grocery staple have led the U.S. Justice Department to open an investigation into the cause and whether large producers have conspired to raise prices or hold back supply, according to a Wall Street Journal report earlier this month citing people familiar with the matter. When reached by MarketWatch, a spokesperson at the department declined to comment.

In a statement dated March 10, Emily Metz, president and chief executive officer of the American Egg Board, which represents U.S. egg producers, said that “to suggest that higher egg prices are the result of anything other than bird flu is a misreading of the facts and the reality.”

She continued: “Make no mistake. Egg farmers are price takers, not price makers, on the egg market, and that market is responding to the uncertainty and chaos bird flu is causing.”

Bird flu

There’s no question that bird flu, or highly pathogenic avian influenza, is the key reason for the spikes in retail egg prices and the drop in supplies. As of March 11, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that a total of 166.2 million birds in all 50 states have been affected since January 2022.

In 2024, avian influenza outbreaks and facility fires resulted in the loss of 39.9 million commercial table-egg layers in 12 states, according to a Jan. 3 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

And with more than 163 million chickens, turkeys, and other bids having died from bird flu or been culled due to proximity to sick birds since 2022, fewer hens are laying eggs, said Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist at StoneX.

Data show that 19.5 million egg-laying chickens were killed in January 2025, the highest monthly total since March 2022, Suderman said, adding that about 18.8 million of those were chickens specifically providing eggs to the food line. There were 379 million laying hens in the United States in January 2024.

‘The good news is that chickens can be repopulated within a few months. The bad news is that the U.S. continues to kill chickens due to bird flu.’

“The good news is that chickens can be repopulated within a few months,” Suderman said. “The bad news is that the U.S. continues to kill chickens due to bird flu.”

Egg production

The production process for eggs includes several “cost-intensive stages,” said Efficio’s Seakar.

The first stage is breeding and rearing chicks into egg-laying hens, which requires feeding, healthcare and housing, he said. Layer-hen maintenance is the next stage, with mature hens requiring regular feeding, health monitoring and controlled environments.

Then comes egg collection and processing, with automatic systems for sorting, cleaning and packaging the eggs, said Seakar, who added that infrastructure investments drive up costs.

Egg producers must also comply with regulations and meet cage-free mandates, which “require new housing systems and millions in investment per farm,” he said.

Producers typically earn 50 cents to $1 per dozen eggs after production costs, while retailers apply a 20% to 40% markup, currently putting store prices at $4 to $5 per dozen.

— Sharmah Seakar, Efficio

Rising feed and regulatory costs have lifted the cost of production to $2.50 to $3 per dozen, Seakar said. Producers typically earn 50 cents to $1 per dozen eggs after production costs, while retailers apply a 20% to 40% markup, putting store prices at $4 to $5 per dozen, he said.

In California, one of the states where consumers are paying the most for eggs, the benchmark price for a dozen large eggs was $10.35, according to a March 7 report from the Department of Agriculture.

State regulations like California’s Proposition 12 on the confinement of farm animals stipulate minimum space requirements for egg-laying hens. That could be affecting egg prices at a regional level, said Curt Covington, senior director of managed accounts at AgAmerica, a nonbank agricultural lender.

He also pointed out that a rough Atlantic hurricane season last year led to damage and losses at many poultry and egg facilities in the Southeast, as well as higher costs for labor and transportation, which have increased overall production expenses.

And while the Trump administration’s shifting tariff policies may not have a direct impact on egg prices, “a second consequence might arise if we start seeing feed or equipment costs go up in response,” Covington said.

There are “lots of moving parts worth keeping a close eye on,” he said. “At AgAmerica, we’re advising clients to focus on operational efficiency, cost management, market diversification and strategic financial planning to navigate current volatility.”

The ‘new norm’

For now, U.S. consumers are likely to see egg prices remain high “due to avian flu risks, feed cost inflation and ongoing regulatory changes,” Seakar said.

Over the longer term, for 2026 and 2027, there’s the potential for prices to stabilize, he said.

If avian flu outbreaks decline, hen populations will recover, increasing supply, Seakar said. Cage-free infrastructure adjustments could also stabilize costs over time.

‘Given new industry realities, a stable price of $3 [to] $3.50 per dozen may be the new norm.’

— Sharmah Seakar, Efficio

“Investigation outcomes into market manipulation could lead to pricing correction,” he said.

Even then, however, egg prices will remain elevated compared with the historical norm, Seakar said. “Given new industry realities, a stable price of $3 [to] $3.50 per dozen may be the new norm.”
