Authorizes county agriculture development boards to acquire agricultural equipment for lease to new and beginning farmers.

This bill, the County Agriculture Equipment Leasing Act (A6090), allows New Jersey county agriculture development boards to acquire and lease agricultural equipment to new and beginning farmers. Boards may purchase, lease, or accept donations of equipment like tractors, harvesters, or irrigation systems, then lease it under terms covering payment, maintenance, and insurance. The law requires boards to prioritize leases for new farmers, those with financial need, or those using sustainable practices, while mandating annual reporting on program participation and costs to the State Agriculture Development Committee. Financial support for equipment acquisition and leasing programs is available through state grants administered by the State Agriculture Development Committee.
