Marks Dairy, located on the fertile plains of Black River is one of the biggest dairies in the state and became quite infamous for a while in early 2000s after a farming accident breached a manure storage pond leading to a massive fish kill in Black River for miles around Lowville. These false color infrared photos show the dairy in brilliant reds, due to the healthy legation from all the rich-manure and fertilization of the grounds, and excellent soils. I am not sure why the 1995 has those bright greens, they may have used a different type of false color imaging with the NAIP photos from the mid-1990s.
