Did you know that New Jersey farmers harvested an estimated 106,000 acres of hay this past summer? The highest acreage since 2018.

This data from the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service provides an important snapshot of New Jersey agriculture, and it wouldn’t be possible without farmers taking the time to respond to NASS surveys. Accurate survey responses help ensure agricultural data reflects what is happening on farms and provides the information needed to inform decisions across the industry.

In honor of International Year of the Woman Farmer, NASDA is continuing to celebrate farmers like Jarmonay P. Nelson of Enjoui Farm.
