The Next Generation Farmer Program is conducting ongoing outreach to the agricultural community to get feedback from farmers, agricultural service providers, and others. The goal is to understand the needs, concerns, and demographics of next generation farmers and help guide the development of the program.

In addition to one-on-one meetings and surveys, the Next Generation Farmer Program will be holding in-person focus groups to gather input. Focus groups are being planned for Fall 2024.

The feedback that is collected will be used to help develop a comprehensive Next Gen report and will include recommendations for enhancing support and improving the viability of agriculture in New Jersey.
