Establishes grant program for reimbursement of tuition and fees for certain qualifying courses taken by farmers; appropriates $100,000.
This bill creates a New Jersey grant program to reimburse farmers for tuition and fees of approved courses related to farming, business, or agriculture. It directly affects farmers who own or operate a farm with at least $2,500 in annual sales, including both experienced farmers (10+ years) and new farmers (less than 10 years). Reimbursement percentages increase with course count: experienced farmers get 10-30% back, while new farmers receive 15-35% for qualifying courses. The program is funded by a $100,000 appropriation from the General Fund, administered by the Department of Agriculture.
