Provides supplemental appropriation of $500,000 for Farm Viability Study at Agricultural Experiment Station.

This bill provides $500,000 in additional funding for the Agricultural Experiment Station to conduct a Farm Viability Study. The study will examine factors critical to New Jersey farms' long-term success, including sustainable production, climate resilience, business management, and marketing strategies. It directly affects the Agricultural Experiment Station (part of Rutgers University) and supports New Jersey's 9,900 farms that produce major crops like cranberries, blueberries, and peppers across 750,000 acres. The funding is supplemental to the state's 2024 budget and aims to analyze how farms can maintain economic strength and adapt to challenges.
