New Jersey Administrative Code
Title 16 - TRANSPORTATION
Chapter 5 - COMPENSATION OF CONDEMNEES FOR INCOME LOSS RESULTING FROM HARVESTING OF STANDING CROPS
Subchapter 2 - AGRICULTURAL OR HORTICULTURAL LAND
Section 16:5-2.3 - Eligibility requirements

To be considered eligible for compensation, a property must be eligible for valuation, assessment and taxation under the Farmland Assessment Act of 1964. Additionally, the property must be currently planted in crops and the condemnation proceedings must interfere with the harvesting of the crop. The Department, however, within its sole discretion, will allow the harvesting of a current annual crop or the current crop of a biannual or perennial crop, so long as such harvesting does not unreasonably interfere with or delay the construction of a project.
