Welcome to New Jersey FSA!

 

 
New Jersey, known as the Garden State, has a vast diversity of landscapes and is a unique combination of densely populated urban centers and open agricultural areas. For a small state, agriculture in New Jersey is quite significant with more than 100 crops being produced. Despite legislative and public pressures, high input costs, and the second highest per-acre market value of farmland in the nation, 17% of New Jersey land is under cultivation and the estimated market value of New Jersey farms is greater than $7 billion with yearly cash receipts approaching $900 million.

 
New Jersey produces 22% of the blueberries, 5% of the peaches and 2% of greenhouse/nursery crops sold in the US. The Garden State ranks Number Two in blueberry production, Number Three in cranberries and bell peppers, and Number Four in peaches. New Jersey has the highest concentration of horses in the US.

 
The Farm Service Agency is a safety outlet for producers. It helps ensure:

 
  • The well-being of American Agriculture, the environment, and the American People though efficient and equitable administration of farm commodity programs;
  • Farm ownership, operating, and emergency loans;
  • Conservation and environmental programs;
  • Emergency and disaster assistance;
  • Domestic and international food assistance and international export credit programs.

 
Our Goals are to:

 
  • Stabilize Farm Income
  • Help Farmers Conserve Land and Water Resources
  • Provide Credit to New or Disadvantaged Farmers
  • Help Farm Operations Recover From the Effects of Disaster

 

 
Attention Hispanic and Women Farmers:
If you believe that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) improperly denied farm loan benefits to you between 1981 and 2000 because you are Hispanic or because you are female, you may be eligible to apply for compensation. To register your name to receive a claims packet, call the Farmer and Rancher Call Center at 1-888-508-4429 or visit: www.farmerclaims.gov. The claims packet will have detailed information about the eligibility and claims process.
