The department suggests that farmers request as much fence as they actually need on the application because, while the standard distribution is a maximum of 30 165-foot rolls, the program administrator may allow for up to 15 additional rolls.
Fence is eight feet in height including two strands of wire to top the six-foot fencing.
All fence must be installed within one year of receipt. Farmers can also obtain deer repellant from the Division of Fish and Game at no charge. This year, New Jersey growers recycled almost 285,000 pounds of greenhouse and nursery film. The volume collected was lower than expected due in large part to an early spring. The department is already at work establishing collection sites for the 1999 program which will run from February 1 through June 1.
