Brooke Rollins Vows to Stop NJ Township's Eminent Domain Seizure of Family Farm to Build Affordable Housing | 20 June 2025 | Calling it a "Biden-style government takeover," Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins is promising to help a New Jersey family trying to save their 175-year-old farm from being seized by a local government to build "affordable housing" units. A state mandate is requiring the township, with a population of only 4,000, to build 265 affordable housing units over the next decade, AgWeb reported. In her X announcement, Secretary Rollins said an upcoming policy change could end such takeovers of family farms. She said her department was exploring legal options to help the Henry family fight the township.
