The SADC Next Gen Program is looking for feedback and input from the agricultural community on program development and recommendations for enhancing support for the next generation of farmers in New Jersey. We are currently providing direct assistance with resource referral and navigational support. Additionally, the SADC Stewardship and Conservation Program can share information on farmland preservation, soil and water cost-share grants, and deer/wildlife fencing grants available for preserved farms.

We will also bring additional resources connecting farmers to other SADC programs including mediation, LandLink, and farmland preservation.
