HB 1544 – Higher tax burdens on small farms place additional burdens on families and small businesses. Small farms are often a stepping stone to a larger agricultural operation. However, operating a small farm is becoming more challenging, especially in areas where there is growth and development.
“This is all about evening the playing field for small family farms,” said Doglio.
Under this bill, houses on farms of less than 20 acres will be given similar treatment to larger farms. This bill will help the smaller farms continue to provide local food in our developing communities.
