Video and Photos Transcript: Governor Hochul Discusses Tariff Challenges With New York Farmers

Governor Kathy Hochul today kicked off The 2026 Great New York State Fair, celebrating the brand new FFA Building and highlighting a series of new and returning agricultural offerings and exhibits that will further connect fairgoers to New York agriculture. Governor Hochul cut the ribbon on the new 10,500 square-foot FFA Building, which will help develop the next generation of agricultural leaders and support agricultural education, a priority for the Governor. The FFA Building is part of a $34.7 million investment in agricultural facilities at the Fairgrounds and a commitment of $119 million for overall improvements to the grounds since she took office five years ago, in 2021. This year’s Fair will run from August 26 through Labor Day Monday, September 7, 2026, and continues to be the most affordable state fair in the nation, and a space for families to “Get Offline, Get Outside.”
