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

This bill directs the New Jersey Department of Agriculture to create a mentoring program that pairs experienced farmers with new entrants to help them succeed. To implement this initiative, the department must collaborate with various agricultural and educational groups, such as Rutgers and the New Jersey Farm Bureau, while also establishing clear rules for who can participate as mentors or mentees. The legislation allows the department to partner with public or private organizations to run the program and requires the adoption of necessary regulations to put the plan into effect.
