Bill > A229

Introduced Session

This bill amends the "Farmland Assessment Act of 1964," to deem forested land or woodlands to be in agricultural use when devoted to the production for sale of a crop designated as a specialty crop by the United States Department of Agriculture, including, but not limited to, the production of maple syrup from sap collected from trees grown and maintained on the forested lands or woodlands. The bill further exempts the landowner of such lands from the woodland management plan requirement to receive farmland assessment valuation for such lands. The bill does not change the other income and eligibility requirements for farmland assessment under the current law.
