The State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) will host four information sessions in coordination with the Cumberland, Warren, Somerset, and Salem County Agriculture Development Boards.

The SADC administers New Jersey’s Farmland Preservation Program, including Farm Preservation across the state, Right to Farm, Agricultural Mediation, and Agricultural Development grants to preserved farm owners and operators and has funding available to process applications for the Farmland Preservation Program.
