S 981 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Increases cap on grants for farmland stewardship activities to $100,000 per application.

This bill increases the maximum grant amount for farmland stewardship projects on preserved farmland from $20,000 to $100,000 per application. It directly affects farmers who apply for grants to fund projects like installing deer fencing, soil conservation, or water management systems beyond routine farm maintenance. The key change removes the previous $200-per-acre limit, allowing the total grant to reach $100,000 per application as needed. This adjustment addresses rising costs for these projects due to inflation, enabling larger-scale improvements to preserved farmland.
