AUGUSTA, NJ — U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) visited Sussex County 4-H youth — the next generation of youth in agriculture — at the New Jersey State Fair who were exhibiting the project animals that they raised.

4-H was started as a local agriculture education program and has grown into the nation’s largest youth development organization, helping more than 6 million children throughout the country learn to advocate for critical issues throughout their communities. 

At the Sussex County Fair, Gottheimer also hosted an Agriculture Roundtable with Sussex, Warren, and Bergen County farmers, the NJ Farm Bureau, board members of agricultural organizations, and local electeds to discuss issues facing farmers in North Jersey.
