New Jersey A4879 raises the cap on grants for farmland stewardship activities to $100,000 per application.

New Jersey A4879 increases the cap on grants for farmland stewardship activities to $100,000 per application. This change aims to address the rising costs of activities such as installing deer fencing and soil conservation projects. The bill overrides existing limits set by the State Agriculture Development Committee, which previously capped grants at $200 per acre and $20,000 per application. This adjustment allows for larger scale projects to be funded, supporting farmers in preserving farmland.
