The New Jersey Agricultural Convention and Trade show is an annual event held by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the New Jersey Vegetable Growers Association, and Rutgers Cooperative Extension.  The event is an opportunity for farmers, farm advocates, state officials, and Extension educators to come together to learn and network.  The end result is a stronger agricultural economy for the state.  Click here to learn more about this statewide event, including the outreach efforts of Meredith Melendez, Mercer County Agricultural Agent.
