CAPE MAY — New Jersey Audubon is hosting an evening for agriculture on Tues., Oct. 11, 2016, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Cape May Brewing Company; 10 Hornet Road, Cape May NJ. This event is for farmers and producers throughout South Jersey who are interested in building soil health and protecting water quality on their farm.
Representatives from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Northeast Organic Farming Association and Rutgers Cooperative Extension will be discussing available programs to help producers meet their goals for on-the-ground conservation. Cape May Brewing Company will also be in attendance, providing a great opportunity for attendees to network and explore the market of specialty crops in Cape May County.
NJ Audubon will be discussing the availability of Healthy Land and Water Grants, which provides producers with incentive payments to help offset the price of installing a number of practices that improve soil health and conserve water quality. Details regarding federal funding opportunities will be presented by NRCS staff, as well as a chance to apply on-site. To be considered for funding this year, applications must be submitted by October 21, don’t miss your chance to apply!
Come on out for a pint of Jersey FreshTM beer, courtesy of NJ Audubon and enjoy a chance to kick back your steel toes while learning about programs just waiting for you! We hope to see you there! Space is limited, registration is required.

West Cape May – The amount of TV shows airing is getting out of hand. Less movies are being produced today than ever before. Instead, people are glued to watching shows that most people never heard of.
