More than 12,000 acres of the state’s 900,000 acres of farmland have been enrolled in the program’s eight-year preservation effort. Landowners are not com- pensated for their agreement not to develop their land for eight t years, but they do become eligible for soil and water conservation matching funds from the state when they enroll. They are also assured protection under New Jersey’s Right-to-Farm law and, in municipally-approved programs, are guaranteed that the zoning of their land won’t be changed for 11 years from their date of entry into the program. New Jersey’s farmland preservation effort has endured three lean years, but as the curtain opens on its fourth, there are signs that activity is on the rise.
