As explained to me Long Island started to lose farm land in the early 1950's and has been doing so ever since. Most of the production was for vegetables. Vegetables were such a legend it was a subplot on Seinfeld. Remember that George had to have a Hampton tomato. Up until the 1980's there was a very active farm supply industry including dealerships for the major farm equipment brands. A few as they were squeezed out came up into Central and Western NY using the big development money they got to set themselves up big in terms of acres. I always wished that it might have been one of my families to have sold out big during the 1950's and up then 1031'd their way into the Finger Lakes region. Not surprised that most open land is going for horse paddocks and stables. Long Island especially the east half Suffolk County is where the big money people have homes and estates now. I hear stories that it is quite a battle for the agriculture that is left to exist with the rich elites.
