A 4029 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill (A4029) creates the "Farmer Supply Link Program," authorizing New Jersey county agricultural development boards to contract with agricultural product aggregators to purchase supplies in bulk at discounted rates for sale exclusively to eligible New Jersey farmers. The program covers items like equipment, seeds, fertilizer, and livestock, requiring boards to secure discounts and restrict sales to farmers. Boards must establish fee structures tied to inflation, covering all program costs, with excess revenue funding farmland preservation. The goal is to reduce farmers' supply costs and strengthen agricultural resilience by improving access to affordable resources.
