Asking residents to join in recognizing and appreciating the hard work of all who toil in farming, the Warren County Board of County Commissioners proclaimed March 19, 2024 as National Agriculture Day.

Representatives of Belvidere High School’s National FFA Organization chapter – President Sadie Wyckoff, Secretary Ashley Postma, Treasurer Olivia Franceschino, and faculty Advisor Matt Duckworth – received the proclamation, which notes that FFA (originally named Future Farmers of America) and agricultural education provide a strong foundation for the youth of America and the future of food, fiber, and natural resource systems.

“You all are the future of agriculture,” Commissioner Lori Ciesla told the students after reading the proclamation on behalf of the Commissioners. “We do a lot of work to preserve our farms in Warren County, and we want to make sure we have people to actually work on those farms,” she noted.

“It’s good to see agriculture so important in our community, and it’s good to see we have a future in agriculture,” Commissioner Jason J. Sarnoski said.

Commissioner Director James R. Kern III remarked that when Ciesla introduced the FFA members, “it’s not lost on me that these are the same names that continue to be farmers in Warren County for generations,” adding, “The family is so important in our farming community, it’s great to see that that tradition lives on in Warren County.”

Kern noted that funding for farmland preservation is one of the few tax increases that gets a public vote and has been supported consistently in Warren County.

Duckworth thanked the Commissioner for their support, adding, “We appreciate you taking the time to talk about agriculture.”

Warren County’s open space preservation efforts protected more than 846 acres of land from development in 2023, the Board of County Commissioners and the county Land Preservation Department announced.

Located in northwest New Jersey, Warren County still retains much of its wilderness and rural charm compared with other parts of the nation’s most densely populated state. Bounded along the west by the Delaware River, the County is home to dense forests, babbling streams, active farmlands, and inviting town centers. For decades, Warren County residents and public leaders have been working hard to protect this landscape against unwise development while promoting sustainable economic activity.

Despite mounting development pressures of late, Warren County remains firmly committed to protecting this landscape and continues to aggressively preserve both open space and farmland.

“Warren County’s greatest assets are our forests, meadows, streams and lakes. Preserving these resources has been a top priority for the past decade and will continue to be so into the future,” explained County Commissioner Director James R. Kern III. “By partnering with our municipalities, nonprofits and other local groups, we will continue to protect the rural nature and beauty of this county,” Kern added.
