I would like to add that the region where I live was well known for its agricultural productivity just after the American Revolution. The Finger Lakes region and Genesee River Valley were important producers of grains and vegetables. A farmer that I am familiar with had his ancestors build their operation by selling hay to NYC via the railroad during the 19th and early 20th Centuries.

The Wadsworth Family was important in opening up the Genesee Valley from Mount Morris north. If anybody knows different then please speak up.
