Directs Dept. of Agriculture to develop and implement beginning farmer mentoring program in cooperation with certain agricultural and educational organizations and entities.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Agriculture to create a program pairing experienced farmers with new farmers to provide guidance and support. It directly affects beginning farmers (those new to farming) and aims to address the state's aging farming population, where the average farmer age rose to 59 by 2012. The program will be developed in cooperation with organizations like Rutgers University, the New Jersey Farm Bureau, county agricultural boards, and the New Jersey Agricultural Society. Key mechanisms include establishing mentoring criteria, online resources, and allowing partnerships with other organizations to operate the program under the department's oversight. The goal is to help new farmers succeed and sustain agriculture in New Jersey.
