A 6139 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes county agricultural development boards to contractually purchase supplies for sale to New Jersey farmers.

This bill authorizes New Jersey county agricultural development boards to contract with businesses that buy farm supplies in bulk, creating a program called the "Farmer Supply Link Program." It allows boards to purchase discounted equipment, fertilizer, seeds, and other agricultural supplies through these contracts, which farmers can then pre-order at reduced rates. Boards must set reasonable fees (adjusted annually for inflation) that cover costs, with any excess revenue deposited into the Preserve New Jersey Farmland Preservation Fund. The program directly affects county agricultural boards and New Jersey farmers by lowering supply costs to support farm business operations and industry resilience.
