The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning from 7 pm Wednesday 12Feb to 1 pm Thursday 13Feb for Southeastern New Jersey and adjoining states.

Given these forecasted weather conditions, the South Jersey Commercial Tree Fruit Grower Meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday Feb. 13 at the Rutgers Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Bridgeton, has been postponed.
The meeting will take place one day later, on Friday Feb. 14th, at the same location and starting time of 8 am.
If anyone pre-registered for the original meeting time cannot make the new time, please contact Karen Holton at (856) 455-3100 ext. 4104 to cancel.
