Establishes a program for county agricultural development boards to purchase bulk agricultural supplies for sale to New Jersey farmers.
The bill creates the "Farmer Supply Link Program" to help New Jersey farmers purchase agricultural supplies at discounted rates. County agricultural development boards can contract with agricultural product aggregators to buy bulk supplies, which are then sold to eligible farmers. The program aims to reduce supply costs, support farm businesses, and improve industry resilience. Boards can set rules and fees, prioritize new or financially-needy farmers, and participate in federal and state programs. Revenues above costs are credited to the Preserve New Jersey Farmland Preservation Fund.
